The Role The Senior Information Security Engineer is a senior technical role within the Global Information Security function, focused on securing cloud platforms, cloud-native services, artificial intelligence solutions, and the identities, data, applications, and integrations that support them. The role works across Azure, GCP, SaaS, AI platforms, and enterprise technology to translate security requirements into practical, scalable, and supportable controls. The role combines hands‑on cloud security engineering with technical governance.

The successful candidate will lead cloud and AI security assessments, define secure architecture patterns, improve posture and monitoring, investigate complex security issues, automate control validation, and provide clear risk-based recommendations to technical and senior stakeholders.

Define and continuously improve security controls and reference patterns across Azure, AWS, cloud-native services, SaaS platforms, containers, serverless workloads, virtual machines, storage, databases, APIs, and supporting network services.

Assess cloud architectures and configurations for identity, network exposure, encryption, secrets management, key management, logging, resilience, data protection, and secure administrative access.

Lead technical investigations involving cloud identities, service principals, managed identities, workload identities, API permissions, privileged access, exposed services, misconfiguration, and suspicious cloud activity.

Embed security into cloud engineering and delivery practices by working with architects, platform teams, developers, and service owners to apply secure-by-design guardrails throughout the technology lifecycle.

Own and improve cloud security posture and workload-protection processes, including platform onboarding, control baselining, finding validation, risk prioritization, remediation tracking, exception handling, and integration with governance processes.

Support vulnerability and exposure management across internet-facing assets, cloud workloads, applications, containers, and SaaS services using available posture, vulnerability, attack‑surface, and threat data.

Perform security reviews of cloud solutions, integrations, APIs, infrastructure‑as‑code, and technology changes, with emphasis on least privilege, segmentation, encryption, logging, auditability, secure configuration, and operational ownership.

Define and apply security requirements for enterprise AI, generative AI, copilots, agents, machine‑learning services, and AI‑enabled SaaS solutions, including data access, prompt and response handling, model or service permissions, identity, logging, retention, and human oversight.

Assess AI‑specific threats and control gaps, including prompt injection, sensitive‑data leakage, insecure agent actions, excessive permissions,…
