As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, you will improve the security of AlphaSense’s cloud environments within the cloud security team. This hands-on, high-autonomy role allows you to own security projects end-to-end, from problem identification to control operation, driving them to measurable outcomes. You should have solid experience with containerized environments, infrastructure as code, and Kubernetes across a multi-cloud (AWS and GCP) estate. Ideal candidates have a strong cloud security background, with DevOps/infrastructure engineering experience and a keen interest in cloud security development also welcomed.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and automate security controls for cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
Maintain, integrate, and scale cloud security tooling, including cloud security posture management and vulnerability platforms.
Investigate and remediate security vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure, driving them to closure.
Design and build access controls across cloud and Kubernetes environments, applying zero-trust principles.
Partner with incident response teams to build detections for cloud infrastructure and help mitigate security incidents.
Develop security standards and guardrails for other engineering teams, embedding them into CI/CD and GitOps workflows.
Work with compliance teams to ensure adherence to frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, translating requirements into technical controls.
Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code reviews to identify security risks.
Lead security projects independently, including scoping, planning, and driving cross-functional work.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in cloud security, or in security-focused infrastructure/DevOps engineering.
Hands-on experience securing containerized environments and Kubernetes.
Strong understanding of AWS and infrastructure-as-code solutions.
Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automation.
Experience working with cloud security posture management or similar security tooling.
A self-starter and problem solver who can own problems end-to-end, drive projects with minimal direction, and communicate clearly across teams.
Experience across multiple clouds (AWS and GCP).
Experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps/GitOps workflows.
Hands-on experience with threat modeling and security architecture reviews.
Hands-on experience working with compliance requirements and turning them into technical controls.
Contributions to security communities, open-source projects, or security research.
Relevant security certifications (e.g., CKS).
