A cloud security engineering role focused on auditing access controls, creating infrastructure security safeguards, and investigating suspicious permissions and activity.

Highlights

Security-focused cloud role involving identity management, infrastructure protection, and improving security posture across cloud environments.

Description

About The Role You are responsible for how identity and access are configured across the company's cloud accounts: which roles exist, what each one can reach, and what happens when a service has more permission than it needs. The work is a mix of auditing existing configuration, writing infrastructure-as-code guardrails, and investigating unusual access patterns. Most serious issues in cloud environments come from permissive policies rather than software vulnerabilities.
