What's the Job?

• Serve as a Cloud Security Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the organization’s Infosec team, shaping policy and leading architectural reviews across Azure, GCP, and AWS.

• Partner with product teams to design secure network and serverless architectures, ensuring security is built in—not bolted on.

• Provide strong IAM policy guidance to help teams implement least-privilege access and reduce cloud security risk.

• Review cloud architecture and AI/ML workflows to advise development teams on secure design principles and identify issues prior to deployment.

• Engage with cloud account teams and technical advisors to influence roadmaps and resolve security escalations.

What's in it for me?

• Opportunity to lead security architecture reviews and influence secure design across multiple public cloud platforms.

• Direct impact on AI security governance, including controls for AI/ML pipelines such as model access governance, data handling, and prompt injection risk.

• Chance to reduce cloud security risk through project and process enhancements, including solution design and implementation leadership.

• Ability to create design artifacts that enable the Cloud Security team to implement solutions built in-house or purchased from vendors.
