We are currently looking for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer. The Senior Cloud Security Engineer is responsible for driving the organization's cloud security strategy, governance, and operational excellence across SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments.

This person will serve as a key partner to application owners, Identity & Access Management (IAM) teams, infrastructure teams, architects, and business stakeholders to identify and eliminate Shadow IT, increase visibility into cloud usage and risk, and strengthen the organization's overall security posture.

The engineer will lead the administration, configuration, and optimization of Broadcom CloudSOC (Symantec CASB) and Palo Alto Prisma Cloud CSPM, providing actionable insights, risk assessments, and executive-level reporting. As the subject matter expert for CASB, CSPM, SaaS security, and cloud governance initiatives, this individual will drive strategic roadmap development, security recommendations, automation opportunities, and continuous improvement efforts that reduce organizational risk while enabling secure business innovation.
