Cloud Security Engineer Job Corpus Christi area,Texas USA,IT/Tech

Position: Staff Cloud Security Engineer

Our Security Engineering team protects Scribd’s applications and cloud infrastructure. We take a proactive, shift-left approach, integrating security throughout the software development lifecycle, from development through production. We work closely with software engineers, infrastructure and platform teams, and product teams to identify and address security risks, build effective security controls, and enable engineering teams to move securely
As a Staff Cloud Security Engineer, you’ll help shape the technical direction of Cloud Security and drive complex architectural investments across our AWS and GCP environments. You’ll work closely with engineers already building our cloud security capabilities to strengthen our identity model, establish secure-by-default guardrails, and protect the workloads our applications run on
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll lead significant initiatives, build security capabilities, and influence engineering teams to adopt them, balancing long-term architectural improvements with the most pressing security risks
Set the Cloud Security architecture
Strengthen and evolve security architecture and guardrails across our AWS and GCP environments, including account and project configuration, network security, and infrastructure standards
Strengthen identity and access management across our cloud environments, driving least privilege, just-in-time access, short-lived workload credentials, and secure cross-account access
Define and improve secrets management, data protection, and encryption standards, ensuring security controls are effective and their coverage can be demonstrated
Secure cloud workloads and delivery paths
Drive security architecture and guardrails for cloud workloads, including Kubernetes, secure base images, workload identity, runtime protection, and isolation of services processing untrusted content, with an emphasis on limiting the impact of compromise
Partner with our Infrastructure teams to secure cloud deployment paths, workload identities, registries, and the infrastructure supporting CI/CD
Build reusable security capabilities and paved paths, including Terraform modules and policy-as-code guardrails, that make secure configurations the default and prevent noncompliant infrastructure changes before deployment
Strengthen cloud visibility and resilience
Define cloud telemetry requirements and improve detection coverage for cloud-native threats in partnership with Detection & Response
Validate cloud security controls through threat hunting and attack-path analysis, contribute technical expertise during incidents, and partner with infrastructure teams on containment and recovery architecture, translating incident learnings into durable improvements
Drive Cloud Security strategy and technical direction
Shape and drive the Cloud Security technical roadmap alongside the Security Engineering manager and engineers in the domain, using threat models, incidents, and control effectiveness to prioritize systemic risks while balancing security outcomes with engineering friction
Lead complex technical initiatives, establish and evolve security standards, and influence their adoption across engineering teams
Provide technical guidance and mentorship, contribute to tooling evaluations, and proactively communicate Cloud Security risks, progress, and direction to stakeholders
