The role emphasizes IaC with Terraform, Python automation, and AWS services, plus AI-assisted security workflows. You will drive security best practices, code reviews, and incident response readiness in a complex cloud environment.

Qualifications

• Formal training or certification in software engineering, security engineering, or network engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience in one or more of these disciplines.
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) experience using Terraform to provision and manage cloud networking and proxy infrastructure (e.g., reusable modules, remote state management, CI/CD integration, drift detection, and change controls)
• Strong Python experience building automation for cloud infrastructure and networking workflows, including authoring AWS Lambda functions and using boto3 to automate AWS operations.
• Hands-on AWS experience implementing and troubleshooting core services across networking, compute, security, and observability (e.g., AWS Lambda, EC2, VPC, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints, NLB, Route 53, CloudWatch, IAM). .
• Knowledge of security best practices and relevant regulatory expectations, with experience evolving controls and implementing mechanisms to measure/validate control effectiveness over time
• Ability to review and validate AI-assisted code/security recommendations before adoption, escalating uncertainty and ensuring outcomes align to security, resiliency, and auditability expectations.
• Good communication skills, teamwork capabilities, and a self-learning attitude
• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate security engineering workflows (e.g., threat modeling, vulnerability analysis synthesis, documentation), with strong validation habits and appropriate handling of sensitive data

Responsibilities

• Designs, develops, and maintains secure software solutions for cloud network perimeter infrastructure, writing high-quality production code and reviewing code written by others across the full development lifecycle
• Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate threat modeling, vulnerability analysis synthesis, and security documentation, validating outputs and ensuring sensitive data is handled appropriately.
• Builds and manages infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to automate the provisioning, configuration, and scaling of cloud networking and proxy infrastructure in a consistent, repeatable, and auditable manner
• Maintains enterprise-scale proxy infrastructure, ensuring high availability, performance, and security of egress traffic controls across cloud environments
• Develops and maintains automation tooling to streamline network configuration, proxy onboarding workflows, certificate management, and policy enforcement
• Troubleshoots complex network and proxy connectivity issues across cloud environments, applying structured diagnostic approaches to identify root cause and drive resolution
• Collaborates with application teams, platform engineers, and architects to design secure and scalable network connectivity patterns that meet both technical and business requirements
• Minimizes security vulnerabilities by following industry insights and evolving best practices, continuously improving network perimeter controls and validating their effectiveness
• Adds to team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect
• Applies reuse-first, AI-assisted practices within SDLC/toolchain routines to strengthen security testing and control validation, ensuring traceability/auditability and alignment to resiliency and security expectations
