The Senior Cloud & Infrastructure Security Engineer is a senior technical member of the Information Security organization responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security controls across cloud and infrastructure environments.

This is a hands-on engineering role that works closely with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, DevOps, and application development teams to ensure security is engineered into cloud platforms and infrastructure from the outset. The objective is to make secure configurations the default, allowing engineering teams to move quickly while maintaining appropriate security controls.

The successful candidate will combine deep cloud and infrastructure expertise with strong security engineering skills. This individual will have the technical capability and authority to implement security controls directly, including AWS IAM policies and roles, VPC and network security controls, cloud security guardrails, logging and monitoring, encryption controls, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).
