Austin, United States Unreal Gigs Full time
Introduction:

Are you a cloud security expert with a passion for ensuring that data, applications, and infrastructure in the cloud are protected from potential threats? Do you have the skills to design, implement, and manage security solutions that fortify cloud environments while enabling business growth? If you're someone who thrives on securing cloud platforms and protecting sensitive information from modern cyber threats, then our client has the ideal opportunity for you. We're looking for a Cloud Security Specialist (aka The Cloud Guardian) to lead our cloud security efforts and safeguard our cloud infrastructure.

Imagine being the key defender of a cloud environment where your expertise is pivotal in preventing cyberattacks, ensuring compliance, and maintaining the highest levels of cloud security. As the Cloud Security Specialist at our client, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing robust cloud security frameworks, performing security assessments, and collaborating with teams to ensure secure cloud operations. This role isn't just about troubleshooting-it's about being the architect of cloud security strategies that evolve with modern threats.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Cloud Security Architecture and Implementation:
  • Design, deploy, and maintain security measures for cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. You'll ensure that cloud environments are configured securely, applying best practices for identity management, access controls, encryption, and data protection.
Cloud Security Assessments and Audits:
  • Conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration testing of cloud environments to identify potential risks. You'll work with IT and development teams to address vulnerabilities and improve overall cloud security.
Identity and Access Management (IAM):
  • Manage and implement secure identity and access management practices within the cloud infrastructure. You'll ensure that proper role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and least-privilege principles are enforced across all cloud services.
Compliance and Regulatory Standards:
  • Ensure that cloud environments comply with relevant regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. You'll work to implement cloud security controls that align with industry standards and frameworks (e.g., CIS, NIST).
Incident Detection and Response:
  • Develop and maintain cloud-specific incident response strategies and tools to detect and respond to potential security breaches. You'll be responsible for managing cloud security incidents, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing preventive measures.
Collaboration and Cross-Functional Support:
  • Collaborate with DevOps, IT, and development teams to integrate security into cloud-native applications and workflows. You'll ensure that security is embedded into the development lifecycle (DevSecOps) and that security controls do not hinder performance or agility.
Cloud Security Training and Awareness:
  • Provide training and guidance to technical teams and employees on cloud security best practices. You'll foster a security-aware culture, helping everyone understand the importance of securing cloud environments.
Requirements

Required Skills:
  • Cloud Security Expertise: Extensive knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and cloud security principles, including encryption, identity management, and network security. You have experience designing and securing cloud environments at scale.
  • Technical Mastery: Proficiency in cloud-native security tools (e.g., AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, Google Cloud Armor), identity and access management (IAM), and key management services (KMS). You're skilled in configuring firewalls, VPCs, and security groups.
  • Threat Detection and Response: Experience with cloud-specific threat detection tools, SIEM systems, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS). You know how to quickly detect and respond to cloud-based security incidents.
  • Compliance and Governance: Strong understanding of regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) and cloud security frameworks (NIST, CIS). You're skilled in conducting audits and ensuring compliance across cloud environments.
  • DevSecOps Integration: Experience working in DevOps or cloud-native environments, with a focus on integrating security into CI/CD pipelines. You understand how to secure containers, microservices, and serverless architectures.
  • Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to communicate cloud security risks and strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You make complex cloud security concepts understandable for everyone.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because even in the cloud, we believe in fostering a productive and enjoyable work environment. If you can navigate cloud security challenges with a smile, you're our kind of specialist.
Educational Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Cloud Computing, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in cloud security is also valued.
  • Certifications such as Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer are highly desirable. If you've contributed to cloud security research or open-source projects, that's a bonus.
Experience Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience in cloud security, with hands-on experience in securing cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. You've successfully implemented and maintained secure cloud infrastructures.
  • Proven experience in cloud compliance, including conducting security assessments and ensuring regulatory compliance in industries such as healthcare, finance, or technology.
  • Experience with cloud-native security tools, identity and access management (IAM), and implementing security in cloud-based development environments (DevSecOps).
Benefits

Benefits:
  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
  • Recognition Programs: Employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements and milestones.
