Job description

Online Cloud Security Risk Specialist

Let’s Talk About the Big Picture Cloud security isn’t just about firewalls and encryption. It’s about protecting people’s trust. When a company moves its data to the cloud, it’s handing over something valuable. That’s where you come in. Your work will keep sensitive information safe, reduce risks before they turn into problems, and make sure our digital home is locked up tight. We know $117,000 a year isn’t just a paycheck—it’s recognition for doing important, high-impact work. This is a fully remote role so that you can do it from anywhere. You’ll still be part of a close-knit crew that knows each other’s coffee preferences and shares memes on Fridays.

What Your Days Might Look Like

Some mornings, you’ll be deep in a cloud security dashboard, spotting potential vulnerabilities before anyone else notices them. Other days, you’ll be in a quick call with engineers, helping them figure out how to secure a new app feature without slowing it down. Sometimes you’ll have those quiet hours where you can focus on risk assessments and incident simulations. And yes, there might be moments when something unexpected pops up and you’ve got to jump in fast. But here’s the thing—you’re not alone. We tackle challenges together.

Your Impact

• Protect Data: Keep sensitive information secure across multiple cloud platforms.
• Reduce Risks: Identify and address weak points before they escalation into major issues.
• Guide Decisions: Help teams choose the safest, most innovative paths forward.
• Keep Us Compliant: Ensure we meet all security regulations.

One of our recent wins? Catching a configuration error before it could expose customer data. It was fixed in under an hour, and the relief across the team was real. That’s the kind of difference you’ll make.

Skills That Will Help You Shine

• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Understanding of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001).
• Experience with risk assessment tools.
• Familiarity with compliance standards like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2.
• Clear, simple communication (security can’t be buried in jargon).

The Tools of the Trade

You’ll have access to top‑notch monitoring tools, incident response platforms, and collaboration spaces where we swap ideas, share quick wins, and even troubleshoot together in real time. We like tools that work for us, not against us.

Our Remote Culture

Remote work can feel isolating if it’s not done right. We keep it connected with:

• Weekly video huddles (fast‑paced, not boring)
• Team Slack channels for quick chats and random jokes
• Virtual coffee breaks
• Clear project boards so you always know what’s next

Remember Jamie from the DevOps team? They once said, "I’ve never felt so in sync with a remote team before."

The Challenges (Let’s Be Honest)

Yes, there are high‑pressure moments. Sometimes a security alert comes in right when you were about to log off. Sometimes you’ll dig into a problem only to find it’s bigger than expected. But we back each other up, and that makes all the difference.

How We See Success

• You spot risks early and act fast.
• You make security easy for others to understand.
• You build trust— with your team, and with the people whose data you’re protecting.

Growth and Learning

We’re big on keeping skills sharp. That means:

• Paid certifications and training
• Access to conferences (virtual and in‑person)
• Time set aside for learning new tools and trends

One of our team members started in cloud risk, then moved into building security automation tools after upskilling. We’ll cheer you on if you want to grow in a new direction too.

Why This Role Matters

Every day, cyber threats get more sophisticated. Businesses can’t afford to be one step behind. By making sure our cloud systems are secure, you’re helping protect our customers, our reputation, and our ability to grow. And honestly? When you stop a security threat before it even makes the news, there’s a quiet kind of pride in that.

Perks That Make a Difference

• Competitive salary: $117,000 annually
• Fully remote work with flexible hours
• Health and wellness benefits
• Generous paid time off
• Learning and development budget
• A Day in the Life Picture this: 8:30 AM – Coffee in hand, quick scan of overnight alerts. 9:00 AM – Short team call to sync up on priorities. 10:00 AM – Review and update cloud security policies. 11:30 AM – Help product team secure a new feature launch. 1:00 PM – Lunch (maybe a walk to clear your head). 2:00 PM – Run risk assessment on a third‑party integration. 4:00 PM – Test incident response playbooks. 5:30 PM – Wrap up, check tomorrow’s plan, log off. Some days will be more intense.

Final Word

If you’re ready to step up and take on a role where your work truly matters, this could be your next move. You’ll have the freedom to work from anywhere, the tools to do your best work, and a team that’s got your back. We’re in this together—and we can’t wait to see what you bring to the table.
