Senior Cloud Security Engineer

Overview

Team: Information Security

Location: remote (FTE comp is based on cost of living)

Profile: This is a senior level security engineer role and they expect to see candidates who have supported application firewalls and security automation for enterprise level companies developing software in AWS environments. This person will be the center point of security to support all app teams with this subject matter – support automations (Python, JavaScript, AWS CDK and Cloud Formation).

Client s Cloud & Product Security Engineering team builds and operates cloud-native security solutions that protect our enterprise and mission-critical digital products. We focus primarily on AWS and are responsible for engineering automated, scalable controls that secure high-stakes assessment platforms used by millions of students each year. We partner closely across the Information Security organization to translate risk priorities, detection gaps, and product security requirements into engineered solutions that strengthen the enterprise.

Our team turns security requirements into working security solutions. We design and deploy capabilities that enhance security visibility, strengthen protection controls, and enable automated detection and remediation across our customer-facing cloud environments. These are real-world, production security systems operating at scale.

As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of cloud-focused security capabilities that directly reduce enterprise risk. You will be responsible for turning priorities across the security organization into resilient, automated solutions running in production. This is a hands-on engineering role where writing code, building infrastructure as code, and operationalizing security tooling are core expectations. You will collaborate closely with security and engineering partners across product suites, research and prototype solutions, and carry them through architecture, documentation, and full production implementation.

You will contribute to forward-thinking security design within AWS, helping contribute to patterns that make secure implementation the default for engineering teams. Success in this role means delivering secure, observable, and highly available systems that stand up to real-world operational pressure while enabling product teams and security partners to move faster with confidence.

In this role, you will:

Translate security priorities into production systems

Improve and evolve security engineering patterns
