Role Overview

You will be part of a team that is passionate about securing Unqork's Commercial and FedRAMP technology stack.

We are looking for a Cloud Security Engineer who thrives at the intersection of security, automation, and infrastructure. In this role, you will be responsible for the security posture of our multi-cloud environment (AWS, GCP, and Azure).

You aren't just an auditor; you are a builder. You will develop automation in python, containerize via Docker, and deploy them to AWS to automate threat detection and response. You will also serve as a key consultant to architects and developers, ensuring our cloud environment remains secure and compliant.

The Impact U will make

• Multi-Cloud Governance: Monitor and triage security findings across AWS, GCP, and Azure, prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
• Security Automation: Architect and maintain security automation workflows using Python.
• Posture Management (CSPM): Identify and remediate insecure cloud configurations (e.g., exposed buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, unencrypted data).
• Edge Security: Manage and fine-tune AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code).
• Consultative Partnership: Collaborate with Cloud Architects and Developers during the design phase to prevent security debt and ensure "Secure by Design" principles.

What U bring

• Experience: 5+ years specifically focused on Cloud Security.
• Coding: Proficiency in Python for security automation and API integrations.
• DevOps Tools: Strong experience with Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Platform Knowledge: Deep understanding of AWS (core services), with functional knowledge of Azure and GCP.
• Security Tooling: Hands-on experience with CNAPP/CSPM platforms (specifically Lacework and Qualys).
• Networking: Understanding of cloud networking (VPC peering, Security Groups, Transit Gateways, WAF).
• Preferred Qualifications: AWS Certified Security – Specialty, or equivalent professional-level cloud certifications (GCP Professional Security Engineer / Azure Security Engineer).
