Lead Cloud Security Engineer - Remote

Our client is at the forefront of cloud innovation and is seeking a highly experienced Lead Cloud Security Engineer to join their fully remote engineering team. This is a critical role responsible for designing, implementing, and managing robust security architectures within cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). You will lead initiatives to protect cloud infrastructure, applications, and data from sophisticated threats. Responsibilities include developing and enforcing cloud security policies, conducting security assessments of cloud services, implementing security automation, and responding to cloud security incidents. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in cloud security best practices, identity and access management (IAM), network security in the cloud, and security monitoring tools. Proven experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, and scripting languages (Python, Bash) is highly desirable. You will mentor junior engineers, contribute to the security roadmap, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure security is integrated into all phases of the cloud development lifecycle. This role demands exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a strong ability to work autonomously in a remote setting. Relevant cloud security certifications (e.g., CCSP, CISSP-ISSAP) are a significant advantage. If you are passionate about securing cloud environments and leading security strategies in a dynamic, remote-first organization, this is an unparalleled opportunity.
