United StatesFull-time$110kPosted Jul 26, 2026

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.
