Job description

A Day in the Life:

As part of a global security engineering team, the Cloud Security Engineer designs, builds, and operates cloud-native and next-generation network security controls that protect enterprise workloads across AWS, OCI, and hybrid environments. This role blends deep expertise in cloud networking, modern firewall platforms, automation, and zero-trust architecture. You will engineer scalable, resilient, and compliant security boundaries that support distributed on-prem devices, remote users, and mobile endpoints across a global footprint.

The starting salary is $110,000, commensurate with experience.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and implement cloud-native network security architectures across AWS and OCI, including VPC/VCN segmentation, private connectivity, and identity-aware access patterns
• Engineer and operate next-generation firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Check Point, Fortinet, Cisco) and cloud firewalls (AWS Network Firewall, OCI Network Firewall, Security Groups, NACLs)
• Develop and maintain scalable firewall and network security policies, including segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAT, VPNs, and egress/ingress controls across hybrid environments
• Automate security guardrails and firewall operations using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash, or API-driven workflows
• Integrate network security controls with cloud and hybrid infrastructure, including Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, OCI FastConnect, Cloud WAN, load balancers, DNS, and service-to-service communication patterns
• Support secure connectivity for distributed on-prem devices and mobile endpoints, including VPN clients, mobile access gateways, ZTNA/SASE integrations, and secure remote access for laptops, tablets, and smartphones
• Monitor and enhance network security posture using cloud-native logging, monitoring, and detection tools (CloudWatch, OCI Logging/Monitoring, Panorama, FortiManager, SIEM platforms)
• Participate in incident response for cloud and network security events, including triage, containment, and root cause analysis
• Collaborate with cloud, platform, and application teams to embed secure-by-default patterns into architecture and CI/CD workflows
• Contribute to resilience and disaster recovery strategies for network and firewall infrastructure

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field required; relevant certifications such as PCNSE, Fortinet NSE 4/5/7, CCNP/CCIE Security, AWS Security Specialty, or OCI Security Professional preferred.
• Strong experience with cloud networking and security across AWS and OCI, including cloud-native monitoring, logging, observability, and security tools (e.g., CloudWatch, OCI Observability, Panorama, FortiManager, SIEM).
• Hands‑on experience with next‑generation firewalls (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco) and supporting distributed on‑premises and mobile environments, including VPNs, ZTNA/SASE, and secure remote access solutions.
• Deep knowledge of networking and security protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, IPSec, SSL/TLS, routing), Zero Trust architectures, segmentation, and least‑privilege access models.
• Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD‑driven security automation, platform engineering, and infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform (preferred), CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, PowerShell, and Bash.
• Proven success supporting large‑scale, regulated, hybrid‑cloud, and globally distributed environments, with familiarity with compliance frameworks including PCI DSS, SOX, ISO 27001, NIST 800‑53/CSF, and HIPAA.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, critical‑thinking, and decision‑making skills, with the ability to see the big picture, solve complex problems, and work effectively in ambiguous situations.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, organization, time management, and prioritization skills, with the ability to partner effectively with internal and external stakeholders across multiple functions and locations
• Results‑driven, adaptable, and self‑motivated professional who can work independently with minimal supervision in a goal‑oriented environment.
