Job description

Our client is seeking a Cloud Security Engineer to join their team. As a Cloud Security Engineer, you will be part of the Security Engineering organization supporting cloud security remediation and hardening across the environment. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on Azure cloud security engineering experience, strong Microsoft Entra ID expertise, and a proven track record of root‑causing and permanently closing recurring security findings—aligning successfully in the organization.

Job Title: Cloud Security Engineer

Location: Warren, NJ - Onsite

Pay Range: $50 - $55/hr

What's the Job?

• Own the full lifecycle of security findings and recommendations—triage, remediation, verification, and closure—whether they originate from the security team, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or other tooling.

• Root‑cause recurring issues and implement systemic fixes (e.g., policy-as-code, automated guardrails, secure baselines) to prevent the same findings from reappearing quarter after quarter.

• Track remediation SLAs and report on risk reduction and cloud posture trends over time, ensuring measurable improvements in security outcomes.

• Secure and govern modern authentication flows across the estate, including OIDC, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, JWT validation/handling, and mTLS.

• Build and enforce cloud security guardrails using Azure Policy and Terraform, including detection and remediation of configuration drift.

What's Needed?

• 9+ years in cloud security or security engineering with deep, hands‑on Azure experience.

• Strong, hands‑on Microsoft Entra ID expertise, including app registrations, Enterprise Application permissions, consent governance, service principals and managed identities, and least‑privilege scoping.

• Solid working knowledge of modern authentication: OIDC, OAuth 2.0 / PKCE, JWT, and mTLS.

• Proficiency with Terraform and Azure Policy for policy-as‑code and automated guardrails.

• Experience with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and cloud security posture management, including a demonstrable track record of permanently closing security findings.

What's in it for me?

• Work in a hands‑on engineering role where your remediation work directly improves security posture and reduces recurring findings.

• Turn security recommendations into durable, well‑architected fixes enforced by design—not one‑off patches.

• Build systemic guardrails across cloud governance, identity, and privileged access to shrink backlog and improve outcomes over time.

• Contribute to security governance standards, control definitions, exception handling, and audit evidence.

• Apply security controls to AI workloads and AI agents, including identity/tool permission scoping and emerging AI security best practices.

Upon completion of waiting period consultants are eligible for:

• Medical and Prescription Drug Plans

• Dental Plan

• Vision Plan

• Health Savings Account

• Health Flexible Spending Account

• Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

• Supplemental Life Insurance

• Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance

• Business Travel Insurance

• 401(k), Plus Match
