Cloud Security Architect / Engineer
Location: Remote
FTE
Overview
Our client is seeking a Cloud Security Architect/Engineer to help design, build, and continuously improve secure AWS cloud environments—while also addressing modern risks across workforce security, DevSecOps, and AI/GenAI use cases. This role partners closely with engineering, product, enterprise systems, and data science teams to embed security into how systems are built and operated.
What You’ll Do:
Cloud Security Architecture
-
Design and implement secure cloud architectures in AWS.
-
Build and maintain security guardrails and standards (IAM, network segmentation, encryption, etc.).
-
Apply Zero Trust principles across cloud systems and user endpoints.
-
Secure containerized and serverless workloads (ECS, Kubernetes, Docker, Lambda, etc.).
-
Review existing cloud implementations, identify gaps, and drive remediation priorities.
Workforce / Identity Security
-
Define and enforce endpoint and access controls.
-
Improve identity lifecycle processes and privileged access management (PAM).
-
Partner with engineering teams to implement a secure VDI environment to support PHI access.
AI/ML & GenAI Security
-
Define security controls for AI/ML and GenAI applications.
-
Work with Data Science to reduce risks like model poisoning, prompt injection, data leakage, and adversarial attacks.
-
Secure agentic AI systems (autonomous workflows / decision-making agents).
-
Help embed security into the model development lifecycle (MLSecOps).
Compliance, Risk, and Assurance
-
Partner with GRC to support compliance with healthcare frameworks and regulations (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, etc.).
-
Perform risk assessments and threat modeling for cloud and AI systems.
-
Support audits by ensuring controls and documentation are in place.
Detection, Response, and Automation
-
Implement and tune cloud-native monitoring/detection (SIEM, CSPM, CWPP).
-
Build automated response/remediation workflows.
-
Support incident response for cloud security events.
DevSecOps
-
Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
-
Automate scanning and enforcement using tools and modern practices (SAST, DAST, SCA), including AI-assisted coding tools.
-
Partner with engineering to “shift security left.”
Leadership
-
Mentor teammates and promote best practices across teams.
-
Stay current on emerging cloud and AI security threats.
What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)
-
5+ years in cloud security or cybersecurity engineering.
-
Strong AWS security fundamentals (IAM, networking, encryption, logging/monitoring).
-
Experience securing containers (Kubernetes and/or Docker).
-
Experience working in regulated environments (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2).
-
Experience implementing automation to improve security outcomes.
-
Experience with Zero Trust architecture concepts and implementation.
-
Scripting/programming ability (e.g., Python; familiarity with Java/Node.js/C# is a plus).
-
Ability to influence and lead cross-functional work without direct authority.
Nice-to-Haves
-
CISSP, CCSP, and/or AWS Security certifications.
-
Master’s degree in a relevant field.
