At Unison, we’ve built a smarter way to unlock home equity, without interest, debt, or monthly payments. Our Vision is to Optimize Homeownership by providing the missing products and expert advice to empower our customers - both consumers and institutional investors - to optimally own and invest in Residential Real Estate. Unison is a mission-driven company and we’re looking for ambitious individuals to help us grow.

Your Mission

In this role, the Cloud Security Engineer will report to the Director of Information Security and support the execution of the IT security vision and risk management strategy. Your mission is to ensure that the design and implementation of the security measures are commensurate with the security policies and standards to assure that our data and systems are secure. This position involves ongoing assessment of risks and vulnerabilities and identifying security design or implementation shortcomings in current products and services. You will contribute to the continuous enhancement of our cybersecurity controls, including associated playbooks, workflows, processes, and procedures.

Within 1 month, you’ll:

  • Build relationships with our IT and Engineering teams to understand their pain points and the tools and technologies that they use.
  • Have working knowledge of our AWS cloud architecture.

Within 3 months, you’ll:

  • Understand IAM roles used in our AWS accounts.
  • Gain comprehension of encryption protocols and data safeguarding measures used within our cloud environments.
  • Conduct risk assessments of our cloud infrastructure and applications, identify security gaps, and develop mitigation strategies.
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering to enhance and deploy AWS-native monitoring solutions effectively.

Within 6 months, you’ll:

  • Manage and implement AWS cloud security controls.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices related to cloud security.
  • Develop incident response plans and participate in incident response activities as needed.
  • Develop scripts, automation tools, and workflows to automate security processes, streamline operations, and enhance overall efficiency.

Responsibilities:

  • Cloud Security Architecture: Manage and implement security controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our cloud-based systems and data. 
  • Security Compliance: Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices related to cloud security (e.g., CIS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001).
  • Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability scans of cloud infrastructure and applications, identify security gaps, and develop mitigation strategies to address potential threats.
  • Security Monitoring and Incident Response: Establish proactive security monitoring and alerting mechanisms to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time. Develop incident response plans and participate in incident response activities as needed.
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): Develop robust IAM policies and access controls to ensure proper authentication, authorization, and accountability for cloud resources and services, based on least privilege.
  • Encryption and Data Protection: Implement encryption mechanisms and data protection controls to safeguard sensitive information in transit and at rest in the cloud environment.
  • Security Automation and Orchestration: Develop scripts, automation tools, and workflows to automate security processes, streamline operations, and enhance overall efficiency.
  • Security Training and Awareness: Provide security training and awareness programs to educate employees and stakeholders on cloud security best practices, policies, and procedures. Serve as a subject matter expert and provide expertise on topics related to cloud security.
  • Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering and IT operations to refine and implement AWS native monitoring tools. 
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay abreast of emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies in the cloud computing space. Continuously evaluate and enhance security controls and practices to mitigate evolving risks.

About you

As a cloud security professional, you are passionate about protecting systems and data, and assuring cloud security controls are operating efficiently and effectively. You develop and update security-related documentation and collaborate with technical teams to ensure the implementation of top-tier security measures throughout the AWS cloud ecosystem. You build cross-functional relationships by partnering with other teams and helping them understand the security controls and can offer compensating controls when compliance cannot be met with existing controls. You exemplify our values, have a drive to succeed, and your experience includes:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or related field.
  • 5+ years’ experience applying security standards and enterprise practices to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

  • SIEM tools experience (e.g.: Panther, NewRelic,, etc.)
  • Knowledge of risk management and NIST Cybersecurity Framework controls
