Location: Remote; CST Time-Zone

Compensation: $55 - $65/hr

Our client is decommissioning a legacy Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platform and migrating to Orca Security across a multi-cloud estate (? 80% AWS / 15% Azure / small GCP footprint). Reporting to the Migration Lead, you will join a cross-functional squad to translate existing rules and policies into Orca, stand up and fine-tune scans, and integrate findings into the client's vulnerability-management workflow. This is a contributing engineer role-not a team-lead position.

Responsibilities

• Inventory legacy CSPM rulesets and recreate or optimize them in Orca.
• Generate posture queries and compliance policies aligned to CIS, NIST, ISO, and client-specific standards.
• Assist the team in onboarding cloud accounts, configuring scanning schedules, and tuning alert pipelines.
• Validate rule accuracy and coverage; troubleshoot false positives/negatives alongside senior engineers.
• Correlate Orca findings with existing tools (Tenable, Rapid7, Prisma, Wiz, etc.).
• Tag, triage, and prioritize issues for remediation based on risk and business impact.
• Pair with IaC, DevOps, and platform engineers to embed Orca posture checks in CI/CD workflows.
• Contribute to runbooks, quick-start guides, and end-user training sessions.
• Surface opportunities to streamline rulesets, reduce noise, and improve detection fidelity.
• Provide feedback on migration playbooks to accelerate future rollouts.

Skills Required

• 3-5 years in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, or vulnerability management.
• Hands-on with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Practical experience with CSPM or vulnerability-scanning tools-ideally Orca; Prisma Cloud, Wiz, Lacework, Tenable, or Rapid7 acceptable.
• Proven ability to write / adapt CSPM rules, queries, and compliance policies (CIS, NIST, ISO, or custom).
• Working knowledge of IAM principles and least-privilege design.
• Light scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for automation is a plus but not the primary focus.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM).

Education & Work Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a closely related field.
• Preferred certifications (any of the following boosts candidacy):
• Industry: CISSP, CCSP, or GIAC (GSEC/GCSA)
• Tool-specific: Orca Security Practitioner, Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or Lacework certifications
• Continuing education inDevSecOps,IaC, or vulnerability-management tooling is valued and should be highlighted.

  Nice-to-Have / Differentiators

  • Direct Orca Security deployment experience (highly preferred).
  • Past use of configuration-management tools (Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
  • Exposure to CASB solutions or cloud access governance.
