Descripción de la vacante

HashiCorp, an IBM Company, is seeking a senior Cloud Security Engineer in Boston to design and build scalable security capabilities across cloud environments, enabling teams to move quickly while managing cloud risk.

You will lead security architecture across AWS, Azure, GCP, and IaC, and mentor engineers in secure infrastructure design, automation with Go and Python, and Terraform-based guardrails.

Formación

• Senior Cloud Security Engineer with strong software and infrastructure engineering background.
• Experience designing and implementing cloud security controls and guardrails.
• Proficiency with Go, Python, and Terraform or similar IaC tooling.

Responsabilidades

• Lead the design and implementation of cloud security architecture and engineering solutions across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud environments.
• Architect and build production-quality security tooling and automation using Go/Golang and Python.
• Design preventative security controls and automated guardrails using Terraform and Iac, enabling secure‑by‑default cloud deployments.
• Establish scalable security patterns across IAM, cloud networking, workload identity, containers/Kubernetes, secrets management, PKI, and workload protection.
• Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and developer workflows.
• Provide technical leadership for complex cloud security initiatives from architecture through implementation.
• Identify systemic cloud security risks and translate them into reusable engineering patterns, automations, detections, and preventative controls.

Your Role and Responsibilities

At HashiCorp, an IBM Company, we’re on a mission to enable organizations to provision, secure, connect, and run infrastructure for any application. Our Security Engineering team helps protect the cloud environments and services that support that mission.

We are looking for a senior Cloud Security Engineer with a strong software and infrastructure engineering background to design and build scalable security capabilities across our cloud environments. This role goes beyond identifying security issues: you will engineer preventative controls, automated guardrails, and secure‑by‑default patterns that enable engineering teams to move quickly while managing cloud risk.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of cloud security architecture and engineering solutions across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud environments.
• Architect and build production‑quality security tooling and automation using Go/Golang and Python, integrating security directly into infrastructure and engineering workflows.
• Design preventative security controls and automated guardrails using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling secure‑by‑default cloud deployments.
• Establish scalable security patterns across IAM, cloud networking, workload identity, containers/Kubernetes, secrets management, PKI, and workload protection.
• Design and integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and developer workflows, shifting security earlier into the engineering lifecycle.
• Provide technical leadership for complex cloud security initiatives, independently driving solutions from architecture and design through implementation and operationalization.
• Identify systemic cloud security risks and translate them into reusable engineering patterns, automation, detections, and preventative controls rather than relying solely on manual remediation.
• Partner with platform, infrastructure, product, and security engineering teams to conduct architecture reviews and influence the design of secure cloud services.
• Improve CSPM/CNAPP, vulnerability management, detection, and cloud security monitoring capabilities and translate findings into engineering improvements.
• Research emerging cloud attack techniques and technologies and apply those insights to evolving cloud security architecture.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical direction on cloud security engineering, automation, and secure infrastructure design.
