Job description

We are seeking a Cloud Security Engineering Manager to lead and scale the team responsible for securing a multi‑cloud environment across AWS, Azure, and GCP. In this role, you will define the cloud security strategy, establish architecture standards, and drive operational excellence. You will guide a team of cloud security engineers to build automated preventative, detective, and responsive security controls that strengthen cloud resilience against modern threats.

What You’ll Do

Leadership & Strategy

• Build, mentor, and manage a high‑performing cloud security engineering team with clear objectives and accountability.
• Develop and own the strategic roadmap with a focus on automation, cloud‑native controls, and “Security as Code.”
• Act as the senior subject‑matter expert for secure cloud architecture, advising engineering and platform teams on secure landing zones, network security, IAM, and best practices.
• Define, implement, and enforce cloud security policies, standards, and frameworks across the organization.
• Work closely with DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering to embed security without slowing development velocity.

Technical & Operational

• Lead the integration of security into Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and ensure controls are scalable and automated.
• Oversee Cloud Security Posture Management tools to maintain continuous compliance and visibility into cloud risks.
• Manage the overall cloud IAM strategy, enforce least privilege, secure secrets, and ensure safe access control for users and services.
• Direct the implementation of secure network architectures (VPCs, Security Groups, WAFs) and data protection strategies including encryption and key management.
• Collaborate with security operations to build cloud‑native detection and automated incident response workflows using tools like GuardDuty, Security Hub, or Sentinel.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in cloud security or infrastructure security, with at least 2+ years managing engineering teams.
• Strong, hands‑on experience with securing AWS, Azure, or GCP (preferably more than one).
• Solid understanding of container security (Docker, Kubernetes), IaC (Terraform), and cloud networking fundamentals.
• Expertise in IAM, network security, encryption, vulnerability management, and cloud‑native security tools.
• Demonstrated ability to automate security controls and remediation using scripting or SOAR platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional certifications such as AWS/Azure/GCP Security Specialty or CCSP.
• Experience securing CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to regulated industries like fintech, healthcare, or similar.
