AlphaSense - Senior Cloud Security Engineer
Requirements
• 5-7+ 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 (ideally GCP as well) 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).
Responsibilities
• Design, develop and automate security controls for cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP. • Maintain, integrate and scale cloud security tooling (e.g., cloud security posture management and vulnerability platforms). • Investigate and remediate security vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure, and drive remediation through to closure. • Design and build access controls across the cloud and Kubernetes environments, applying zero-trust principles. • Partner with incident response teams to build detections for cloud infrastructure, and help analyze and mitigate security incidents affecting products. • Develop security standards and guardrails for other engineering teams, and embed them into CI/CD and GitOps workflows. • Work with compliance teams to ensure adherence to frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, translating requirements into practical technical controls. • Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code reviews to identify security risks, collaborating closely with engineering and product teams. • Lead security projects independently — scoping, planning, and driving cross-functional work to completion.
Benefits
• Work on cutting-edge cloud security challenges at scale in a fast-growing company. • High autonomy and ownership to shape and drive the cloud security roadmap. • Collaborative and security-minded engineering culture. • Competitive compensation, benefits, and career growth opportunities. • If you’re a hands-on, self-motivated security engineer passionate about building and securing cloud infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you! • For base compensation, we set standard ranges for all roles based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies and internal comparables. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location.
