Cloud Security Engineer | AWS​/Azure​/Kubernetes – Dallas, TX

A large enterprise company in the aviation space is looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to help secure complex, high-visibility cloud environments used across the organization.

This is a hands-on security role for someone who enjoys solving real cloud security problems, not just maintaining infrastructure. You'll be responsible for strengthening security across Azure and AWS environments, protecting Kubernetes and containerized workloads, improving cloud security posture, and building automation that helps the team detect and remediate risk faster.

The team is looking for someone who can take ownership of cloud security controls and help shape how security is enforced across modern cloud environments.

If your background is centered around cloud security, Kubernetes, CNAPP/CSPM, and automation, this role gives you the chance to work in a highly technical environment where your work directly impacts the security of large-scale systems.
