District Partners is engaged on supporting a mission-focused organization headquartered in Washington, DC in their search for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer. This is a hybrid role requiring 2 days per week onsite at HQ.

This organization plays a pivotal role in protecting sensitive systems and supporting national-level initiatives. The security team has strong executive backing, modern cloud infrastructure, and a culture that values collaboration and precision. It's a place where your work isn't just technical—it safeguards people, programs, and missions that matter.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead end-to-end incident response: investigate, contain, remediate, and prevent recurrence
  • Configure and secure AWS (IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, CloudTrail, etc.), plus Azure and M365
  • Engineer and tune detections in SIEM platforms to identify threats early
  • Perform proactive threat hunting and log analysis to uncover risks before they escalate
  • Partner with IT leadership to execute remediation projects and compliance efforts aligned to NIST CSF

Preferred Background:

  • 5+ years in cybersecurity with a strong focus on hands-on cloud security engineering
  • Proven AWS configuration expertise—direct implementation and operations experience required
  • Demonstrated incident response depth, with a record of managing and resolving real-world incidents
  • Multi-cloud knowledge across AWS, Azure, and M365, including identity management
  • Preferred certifications: CCSP, AWS Security, Azure Security

We're prioritizing engineers with real AWS configuration experience and incident response depth. If you've built, tuned, and defended cloud environments and thrive in a mission-driven setting, this role is worth a closer look.
