Job summary

PropertyGuru is seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to strengthen and scale cloud security across AWS and GCP in a Bengaluru-based role. You will partner with security and platform teams to reduce the attack surface, implement durable fixes, and automate IAM reviews and policy checks.

This role emphasizes CNAPP/Terraform guardrails, logging readiness for SentinelOne AI SIEM, and exposure monitoring across multi-cloud environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5+ years of experience in cloud security, infrastructure security, or DevSecOps/security engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on experience securing AWS (IAM, networking, logging, KMS/encryption) and knowledge of GCP BigQuery governance.
• Experience with CNAPP/CSPM tooling (SentinelOne CNAPP preferred; equivalent tools acceptable).
• Strong scripting/automation capability (Python/Go/Node) and API usage for repeatable security checks.

Responsibilities

• Drive secure-by-default posture improvements across AWS and GCP aligned to security standards.
• Identify and reduce cloud misconfigurations and risky exposures (public access, overly permissive IAM, cross-account trust).
• Partner with platform/infra teams to implement durable fixes and guardrails.
• Operationalize CNAPP findings and prioritize issues by exposure, criticality, and exploitability.
• Automate IAM reviews and evidence packs for AWS/GCP governance and drift detection.
• Collaborate on IaC security with Terraform to enforce baseline checks and policy-as-code controls.
• Maintain exposure monitoring for new public resources and direct-to-origin paths.
• Define essential log sources and SIEM readiness (SentinelOne AI SIEM) for CloudTrail, Cloudflare, and BigQuery.
• Provide incident support, root cause analysis, and remediation guidance.
• Produce concise posture reports highlighting top IAM risks and changes.

Job description

Job Description*Cloud Security Engineer*
At PropertyGuru, we strive to ?Build Southeast Asia?s Trust Platform? and security is at the centre of building that trust with our customers, agents, and partners across Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand & India.

*Role*

• The Cloud Security Engineer is responsible for strengthening and scaling cloud and infrastructure security across AWS and GCP.
• This role partners closely with the Sr Cloud Security Engineer (Cloud/Infra owner), AppSec leaders, and platform teams to reduce cloud attack surface, harden identity and infrastructure guardrails, and ensure that essential security telemetry is usable in SentinelOne CNAPP and SentinelOne AI SIEM.

The engineer will deliver required, high-leverage automation (e.g., IAM review evidence, exposure checks, Terraform guardrails) and will avoid unnecessary integration for integration's sake.

*Responsibilities*

*Cloud & Infrastructure Security (AWS + GCP)*

• Drive secure-by-default posture improvements across AWS and GCP, aligned to PropertyGuru?s security standards.
• Identify and reduce cloud misconfigurations and risky exposures (public access, overly permissive IAM, risky trust relationships, weak logging baselines).
• Partner with platform/infra teams to implement durable fixes, not just close findings.

*CNAPP Operations & Risk Prioritization*

• Support day-to-day operationalization of SentinelOne CNAPP findings:
• validate, prioritize, and route high-impact issues based on exposure + criticality + exploitability
• tune noise and reduce false positives in collaboration with the Cloud/Infra owner
• Ensure visibility for the most important risk categories: internet exposure, identity/IAM risk, data access risk, and high-impact vulnerabilities on critical workloads.

*IAM Governance & Privileged Access Review Automation*

• Build repeatable IAM review mechanisms and evidence packs for:
• AWS admin access, wildcard permissions, risky cross-account trust, stale credentials, unused high-privilege roles
• GCP IAM with focus on BigQuery datasets/projects, service accounts, cross-project grants
• Automate periodic reporting and drift detection to highlight privilege creep and unapproved changes.

*IaC Security & Policy-as-Code*

• Support security guardrails for Terraform-managed infrastructure:
• baseline checks for high-risk configurations (public exposure, weak IAM, missing encryption/logging)
• promote approved patterns/modules and reduce repeated misconfig classes
• Collaborate with engineering to implement practical policy-as-code controls where it meaningfully reduces risk and rework.

*Exposure Reduction / Attack Surface Monitoring (Required)*

• Implement and maintain lightweight, high-signal exposure monitoring focused on actionable outcomes:
• newly public cloud resources or services
• ?direct-to-origin? exposure paths where Cloudflare is expected as the controlled ingress
• drift in security-critical configurations that increases external attack surface
• Provide clear evidence and remediation guidance that can be actioned by service owners.

*Logging & Detection Readiness (SentinelOne AI SIEM)*

• Define and validate essential cloud log sources and security event flows required for incident readiness:
• AWS CloudTrail and key control-plane events
• GCP Audit logs relevant to BigQuery access and administrative changes
• Security-relevant Cloudflare events (WAF/API Shield), where applicable
• Validate ingestion, retention, and searchability of these logs in SentinelOne AI SIEM.
• Build a minimal set of high-value dashboards/alerts (e.g., privilege expansion, public exposure changes, abnormal data access indicators) in partnership with the Cloud/Infra owner.

*Incident Support & Root Cause Closure*

• Provide cloud-side investigation support (evidence gathering, timeline reconstruction, blast-radius analysis).
• Perform root cause analysis for cloud security incidents/exposures and ensure preventative controls are implemented to avoid recurrence.

*Compliance Evidence & Reporting*

• Produce concise, engineering-actionable cloud security posture reports:
• top IAM risks and changes
• exposure changes and remediation status
• BigQuery access governance summaries
• progress on guardrails and coverage
• Support audit evidence requests related to IAM, logging, encryption, and access governance.

*Who you are*

*Qualifications*

• Bachelor?s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5+ years of experience in cloud security, infrastructure security, or DevSecOps/security engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on experience securing AWS (IAM, networking, logging, KMS/encryption) and working knowledge of GCP, especially BigQuery governance.
• Experience working with CNAPP/CSPM tooling (SentinelOne CNAPP preferred; equivalent tools acceptable).
• Strong scripting/automation capability (Python/Go/Node) and comfort working with APIs to build repeatable security checks and reports.
• Experience working with Terraform in real-world cloud environments.

*Knowledge*

• Deep understanding of cloud identity and access control models:
• AWS IAM roles/policies/trust relationships
• GCP IAM roles/service accounts; BigQuery dataset/project permissions
• Practical understanding of common cloud attack paths:
• public exposure and misconfig exploitation
• privilege escalation through IAM misconfigurations
• credential leakage and abuse
• data exfiltration paths (especially around data platforms such as BigQuery)
• Familiarity with cloud logging and incident response fundamentals:
• what must be logged, how to validate logging completeness, and how to use logs in investigations
• Familiarity with Cloudflare security controls (WAF/WARP) and ?origin protection? concepts is a plus.

*Essential Personal Skills*

• Self-starter who can execute independently while collaborating closely with cloud/platform and security stakeholders.
• Strong analytical thinking and prioritization skills able to turn noisy findings into a small number of high-impact actions.
• Clear, concise communicator who can explain risk and remediation in practical engineering terms.
• Methodical, detail-oriented, and maintains strict confidentiality of security issues.
• Comfortable operating across multiple teams/markets/time zones in a high-volume environment.
