Cloud Security Engineer

As a Cloud Security Engineer within our telecommunications company, you will be responsible for ensuring the security of our cloud infrastructure, particularly within Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Azure environments. Your role will involve designing, implementing, and maintaining security measures to safeguard our cloud-based systems and data against cyber threats and vulnerabilities. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to assess risks, develop security solutions, and enforce compliance with industry standards and regulations.

• Design and implement robust security architectures for cloud environments, incorporating tools such as Wiz, Tenable, and/or Darktrace, along with other best practices, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Deploy and configure security tools and technologies, including Wiz, Tenable, and Darktrace, to protect cloud infrastructure. This includes firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), encryption mechanisms, access controls, and identity management solutions.
• Develop and maintain monitoring systems for detecting and responding to security incidents and breaches in cloud environments, leveraging Wiz, Tenable, and Darktrace capabilities. Conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests to identify and mitigate risks.
• Implement automation scripts and tools, integrated with Wiz, Tenable, Darktrace, and other solutions, to streamline security processes, enhance incident response capabilities, and enforce security policies across cloud deployments.
• Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) and industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST) pertaining to cloud security. Establish and maintain documentation for security policies, procedures, and controls, using insights from tools like Wiz, Tenable, and Darktrace.
• Provide guidance and training to internal teams on cloud security best practices, threat mitigation strategies, and compliance obligations. Foster a culture of security awareness and accountability throughout the organization, leveraging insights from Wiz, Tenable, Darktrace, and other sources.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including IT operations, development, and compliance, to integrate security measures into cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments. Communicate effectively with stakeholders to convey security risks, recommendations, and status updates, leveraging insights from Wiz, Tenable, Darktrace, and other tools.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (Master's degree preferred).
• Minimum three years of experience in cloud security engineering roles, with a focus on GCP, AWS, and MS Azure environments.
• Proficiency in designing, implementing, and managing security controls within cloud platforms, such as IAM, VPC, Zero Trust principles, IaC, Security Groups, Key Management Services, SDLC, Ci/Cd pipelines and Network Security.
• Hands-on experience with security tools and technologies, including Wiz, Tenable, Darktrace, SIEM, DLP, WAF, CASB, and endpoint security solutions.
• Strong understanding of networking concepts, protocols, and architecture, with the ability to troubleshoot complex security issues.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and automation frameworks for security orchestration and configuration management.
• Industry certifications in cloud security (e.g., CCSK, CCSP, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer, AWS Certified Security - Specialty) are highly desirable.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
