Responsibilities

• Design organization-wide controls (SCPs, Azure Policy) that provide maximum protection with minimum developer friction.
• Architect templates and permission boundaries that govern how services and humans interact with our cloud environment with the principle of least privilege in mind.
• Define the security standards for VPC architecture, edge networking, and cross-account connectivity.
• Lead platform-related security reviews for new features and high-impact services, ensuring security is baked into the design phase.
• Design systems and processes to validate the security posture of the platform, ensuring our security policies are enforced in real-time with actionable feedback for engineering teams.
• Raise the bar for the entire organization by mentoring junior engineers and influencing senior leadership on critical security decisions.

Requirements

• 8+ years of proven experience in information security, specifically within cloud-native environments, Kubernetes (EKS, AKS), and cloud security.
• Deep understanding of secure networking principles, including VPC peering/transit gateways, VPN implementations, edge protection, and managing public/private PKI infrastructures.
• Strong background in building automated controls for enforcing Policy-as-Code within Terraform workflows.
• Hands-on experience identifying attack vectors and conducting risk assessments for complex, distributed systems.
• Experience working with security platforms for analyzing cloud permissions.
• Exceptional communication skills with a track record of aligning multiple teams toward shared security goals.
• Ability to access federal environments and/or have access to protected federal data.
