Remote Cloud Security Policy Operations Specialist

Naukri Mitra; United States; Remote; USD 42,000 - 52,000; Full time

Job summary

Naukri Mitra is seeking a Remote Cloud Security Policy Operations Specialist to design and enforce cloud security policies across platforms from a fully remote setup. The role focuses on turning policies into practical controls, driving accountability, and ensuring ongoing compliance across changing infrastructure.

The position offers both part-time and full-time options, with remote work and a focus on independent work, risk assessment, and policy audits to support secure cloud operations.

Qualifications

• Real cloud security experience beyond theory.
• Understanding how policy gets undermined in practice and permissions creep.
• Ability to work independently and set your own priorities.

Responsibilities

• Design cloud security policies across platforms.
• Assess risk across cloud environments and identify gaps.
• Define scalable policy frameworks for changing infrastructure.
• Collaborate with implementation teams to enforce policies.

Job description

Most cloud breaches don't happen because nobody was watching. They happen because the policy governing access was written loosely or never updated as the underlying infrastructure changed. We're hiring a Remote Cloud Security Policy Operations Specialist to close that gap, someone who writes policy that actually holds up once real systems start running against it. Both part-time and full-time positions are open, fully remote.

What You'd Own This role centers on designing security policies for cloud environments and ensuring they are actually followed, not just published and forgotten. You'll assess risk across different cloud platforms, build out policy frameworks that address what you find, and work with the teams who have to implement those policies day to day. Writing the policy is only half the job. The other half is making sure it survives contact with how people actually work.

What the work looks like:

• Designing and updating cloud security policies across platforms
• Assessing risk and identifying where current policy falls short
• Defining policy frameworks that scale as infrastructure changes
• Working with implementation teams to enforce policies in practice
• Monitoring compliance and adjusting policy where it isn't holding up
• Documenting decisions clearly enough for future audits or reviews

What You'll Need

Real experience with cloud security is the starting point, and it needs to go beyond theory. You should already understand how policy gets undermined in practice, permissions creeping wider over time, exceptions that never get revisited, teams working around a rule because it slowed them down. Strong analytical thinking matters here, since much of the job involves spotting where a policy looks fine on paper but doesn't align with what's actually happening across the infrastructure. Comfort working independently is expected too. You'll be setting your own priorities more often than following someone else's checklist.

What Strengthens an Application

Experience across multiple cloud platforms tends to matter more here than depth in a single one, since policies that only work for a single environment rarely hold up as infrastructure grows. A track record of building policy frameworks from scratch, rather than just maintaining existing ones, is another strong signal. If you've had to walk a team through why a security policy exists, and actually gotten buy-in rather than just enforcement, that experience is worth highlighting specifically.

Compensation and Schedule

This position pays around $47,000 a year. Part-time hours are flexible, useful if you're balancing other commitments alongside this work. Full-time comes with a steadier rhythm and a fuller benefits package. Both options are fully remote, so the work happens wherever you're set up.

Why the Role Matters

Here Security policy is treated as paperwork at many companies, written once and rarely revisited until something goes wrong. Naukri Mitra takes a different view; we'd rather have someone who checks whether a policy is actually working than someone who just files it away once it's approved. Specialists who take this seriously tend to build genuine trust with the teams they work with, since good policy design makes other people's jobs safer without making them harder. That trust usually opens up a broader scope in the role over time.

How the Work Gets Done

Expect a good amount of independent work, researching, drafting, and revising policy based on what you find. Coordination with other teams happens when a policy needs buy-in or when something in practice contradicts what's written down. Most communication is asynchronous, with real-time conversations reserved for things that genuinely need them, like a policy gap that’s creating active risk.
