Job description

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Your role in the team

Product Security Engineering designs, builds, and operates enterprise security controls as software products that integrate directly into cloud platforms, the SDLC, and core enterprise services. The organization applies modern software and cloud engineering practices to deliver scalable, reliable, and developer‑friendly security capabilities for cloud‑hosted workloads.

The Cloud Product Security Engineer is a hands‑on security engineer responsible for building, integrating, and operating security controls within cloud environments. This role focuses on engineering preventative, detective, and responsive security capabilities across cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and application services. It includes building and operating cloud security posture management (CSPM) and data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities to continuously detect, assess, and reduce risk in cloud environments. Engineers in this role own the full software development lifecycle from design and implementation through deployment and production support and are accountable for the reliability, adoption, and effectiveness of cloud security controls, including their role in incident detection, response, and recovery.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, andoperatecloud‑nativesecurity controls as software products across cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and application services
Engineer andmaintaincloud security posture management (CSPM) and data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities to continuously detect, assess, and reduce risk in cloud environments
Build preventative, detective, and responsive security controls that integrate directly into cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and shared enterprise services
Integrate cloud security controls with SIEM and security tooling to generatehigh‑qualitysignals for detection, investigation, and incident response
Support incident handling and response by engineering detection logic, automation, and response mechanisms that improve containment and recovery
Apply modern cloud and software engineering practices (e.g., infrastructure as code, automated testing, CI/CD) to ensure security controls are reliable, scalable, and maintainable.
Collaborate with platform engineers, application teams, and Digital Product Managers to align cloud security controls with architectures and developer workflows.

Essential Skills:

All applicants must demonstrate they have a legal right to work in the UK for employment atAllstate.Allstate is not providing sponsorship for this vacancy.
A minimum of 3+ years of professional software or security engineering experience, including ownership of production systems in cloud environments.
Hands‑on experience engineering security controls within public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS and/or Azure), spanning infrastructure, platform services, or application‑level integrations.
Background building or integrating cloud security posture management (CSPM), data protection, or data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities as engineered solutions.
Understanding of cloud‑native architectures and services (e.g., identity, networking, storage, compute) and how security controls integrate into them.
Capability to engineer preventative, detective, and responsive security capabilities, including detection logic, automation, or response workflows.
Practical application of modern engineering practices such as infrastructure as code, automated testing, CI/CD, and operational feedback loops.
Ability to collaborate effectively with platform engineers, application teams, and security partners to deliver cloud security outcomes.

Desirable Skills:

Working knowledge of cloud service provider security services and patterns (e.g., identity, networking, encryption, logging) and their use inreal‑worldcloud architectures.
Practical exposure to advanced CSPM techniques, includingpolicy‑as‑code, drift detection, and automated remediation.
Experience with data classification, data handling, or data protection strategies that support DLP incloud‑hostedsystems.
Familiarity with security telemetry, logging pipelines, and SIEM platforms used for detection, investigation, and incident response.
Hands‑oninvolvement in incident response orpost‑incidentanalysis from an engineering perspective (e.g., improving detections, controls, or recovery mechanisms).
Exposure toinfrastructure‑as‑codeand cloud automation tooling used to deploy, configure, and secure cloud resources at scale.
Understanding of secure design principles forcloud‑nativeand distributed systems, includingidentity‑centricandleast‑privilegeapproaches.
Demonstrated interest in continuously improving cloud security controls through learning, experimentation, and collaboration.
Proficiencyin one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript), with the ability to write, review, andmaintainproduction‑quality code.
