You will partner with teams responsible for cloud operations, enterprise data platforms, analytics environments, and infrastructure engineering to ensure security is built into the foundation of critical systems.

This position differs from traditional cloud security roles by emphasizing platform hardening, data security, infrastructure resilience, and control validation. You will assess cloud environments for security weaknesses, develop automated remediation solutions, improve security visibility, and help establish technical controls that protect confidential client and investment data. You will also work with internal stakeholders to strengthen secure configurations, reduce attack surfaces, and continuously improve the organization’s cloud security maturity.

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform

  • Proficiency with Python, PowerShell, or Bash scripting

  • Experience implementing security controls for enterprise data environments

Desired Skills & Experience

  • 8+ years of cloud security or infrastructure security experience

  • Experience working in financial services or other regulated industries

  • Familiarity with data loss prevention (DLP) technologies

  • Experience securing cloud-based analytics or data lake environments

  • Knowledge of cloud compliance frameworks and regulatory requirements

  • Experience supporting large enterprise infrastructure environments

  • AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, CISSP, or similar certifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field

What You Will Be Doing

Daily Responsibilities

  • 100% Hands On

  • Harden and secure cloud infrastructure using security best practices and baseline standards

  • Develop automated solutions that identify and remediate cloud configuration risks

  • Implement controls that protect sensitive financial, operational, and client data

  • Perform security assessments of cloud resources and enterprise platforms

  • Partner with engineering teams to strengthen infrastructure security across cloud environments

  • Support encryption, key management, and data protection initiatives

  • Monitor cloud environments for risky configurations and compliance gaps

  • Build automation scripts that improve operational efficiency and security visibility

  • Manage security findings from cloud assessments and coordinate remediation activities

  • Create technical documentation, security standards, and implementation procedures
