Cloud Security Engineer

Your Role

Join our global security engineering team as a Cloud Security Engineer, where you'll design, build, and manage innovative cloud-native and advanced network security solutions that safeguard enterprise workloads across AWS, OCI, and a hybrid environment. This position requires a strong mix of expertise in cloud networking, modern firewall technologies, automation, and zero-trust principles. You'll create secure, scalable, and compliant security infrastructures that support strategically distributed on-prem devices, remote users, and mobile endpoints.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement cloud-native network security architectures for AWS and OCI, focusing on VPC/VCN segmentation, private connectivity, and identity-aware access methods.
• Engineering and operating next-generation firewall platforms, including Palo Alto, Check Point, Fortinet, and Cisco, as well as cloud firewalls like AWS Network Firewall and OCI Network Firewall.
• Develop scalable firewall and security policies covering segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAT, VPNs, and ingress/egress controls across hybrid environments.
• Automate security guardrails and firewall operations utilizing Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash, or API-driven workflows.
• Integrate network security controls with cloud and hybrid infrastructures, emphasizing Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, OCI FastConnect, and Cloud WAN.
• Enable secure connectivity for on-prem devices and mobile endpoints through VPN clients, mobile access gateways, ZTNA/SASE integrations, and ensure secure remote access.
• Monitor and actively improve network security posture using cloud-native logging, monitoring, and detection tools like CloudWatch and SIEM platforms.
• Engage in incident response efforts for cloud and network security events, including effective triage, containment, and root cause analyses.
• Collaborate with cloud, platform, and application teams to embed secure design patterns into architectures and CI/CD workflows.
• Contribute to resilience and disaster recovery strategies for network and firewall infrastructures.

• A background in managing large-scale, regulated, or globally distributed environments.
• Strong grasp of cloud networking and security in AWS and OCI.
• Hands-on experience with next-generation firewalls (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco).
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code and automation tools (preferably Terraform; also CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash).
• Extensive knowledge of network and security protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, IPSec, SSL/TLS, and routing).
• Experience with cloud-native monitoring and logging solutions.
• Solid understanding of Zero Trust principles, segmentation, and least-privilege access models.
• Experience in enabling distributed on-prem devices and mobile connectivity, including VPN clients, ZTNA/SASE, and secure remote access.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks, including PCI DSS, SOX, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53/CSF, and HIPAA.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, capable of engaging with various stakeholders across functions and locations.
• Flexibility and adaptability to thrive in ambiguous situations.
