Job description

Cloud Security Architect (AWS)

Location: Remote (U.S.) | Hybrid in New York, NY or Washington, DC
Employment Type: Full-Time
Department: Security

About the Company

Founded by leaders from top defense-tech and national security organizations, this venture-backed company is building a next-generation, privacy-first cellular network. Backed by premier Silicon Valley investors, the team is rethinking telecom from the ground up, designing secure, cloud-native infrastructure that gives individuals and mission-critical operators greater control over their data.

This is not incremental telecom. Its a clean-sheet rebuild of wireless infrastructure aligned with U.S. and allied national security priorities.

The Role

Were hiring a Security Engineer (Cloud Security) to architect and harden AWS environments that power a new category of secure wireless infrastructure.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role embedded with engineering and SRE. You will reduce systemic risk, design security controls, and integrate security directly into the DevOps lifecycle.

What You'll Do

  • Design and manage AWS security controls to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability

  • Lead cloud security assessments and drive remediation

  • Embed security into CI/CD and DevOps workflows

  • Leverage AWS tools (GuardDuty, Inspector, IAM, KMS, WAF, Shield)

  • Automate security processes using Python, TypeScript, or Go

  • Secure containerized and distributed systems

  • Partner on audits and penetration testing

  • Champion secure-by-design principles across engineering

What Were Looking For

  • 5+ years in security, including 3+ years focused on AWS

  • Deep knowledge of AWS architecture and cloud security best practices

  • Experience with IaC (CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation)

  • Strong scripting skills for automation

  • Solid grounding in network security, encryption, and secure coding

  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-ownership environments

  • US Citizenship (Required)

Certifications (CISSP, AWS Security Specialty) are a plus.

Our Culture

We are builders who choose to work on problems that matter.

Many team members come from defense and national security backgrounds. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and hire people who solve hard problems.

We believe privacy and national security can be reinforced through strong technology. We give exceptional people real responsibility and trust them to execute.
