About the role
- Design and implement secure cloud network topologies and connectivity patterns (segmentation, routing, private connectivity, DNS, ingress/egress).
- Build reusable reference patterns and implement them—supporting teams through delivery, production readiness, and operational handoff.
- Standardize secure architecture approaches that scale across teams and environments.
- Deliver repeatable cloud environments using Terraform (modules, state strategy, environment separation, promotion workflows, and deployment automation).
- Establish secure-by-default IaC patterns and guardrails that teams can adopt broadly.
- Drive code quality through reviews, reusable modules, documentation, and automation practices.
- Implement and operationalize cloud security controls (identity & access, network protection, monitoring, baseline hardening).
- Identify security gaps and implement remediation through configuration changes and Terraform updates.
- Improve detection/response readiness through logging, alerting, and operational runbooks.
- Map technical designs and deployed configurations to NIST SP 800-53 control families (e.g., AC, AU, CM, IA, SC, SI).
- Produce and maintain audit-ready evidence such as:
- - Architecture diagrams and data flow documentation
- - Configuration baselines and standards
- - Logging/monitoring proof and access control evidence
- - Control mappings and implementation notes
- - Runbooks for operations and incident response
- Implement secure ingress and API exposure patterns and evolve them into repeatable standards.
- Build, deploy, tune, and operate firewall/traffic inspection and egress control patterns.
- Apply secure patterns for:
- - AWS foundational networking/IAM/edge/API security
- - Azure APIM and Azure Front Door patterns for secure API publishing and global ingress/WAF
- Troubleshoot routing/DNS issues, WAF/policy behavior, firewall denies, API performance issues, and production incidents.
- Improve reliability and security posture through monitoring, automation, and continuous runbook refinement.
- Contribute to platform stability through incident learning, root cause analysis, and preventative improvements.
Requirements
- **Qualifications ****Required**
- - 7+ years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, security engineering, or network architecture with significant hands-on delivery responsibilities.

- - Strong knowledge of cloud networking and security fundamentals (segmentation, routing, private connectivity, identity, logging/monitoring).
- - Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 and the ability to translate controls into implemented technical safeguards and evidence.
- - Proven ability to learn new cloud services quickly and apply them safely in production.
- - Strong communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation and operational guidance.
- **Prefe**rred
- - Hands-on AWS experience (networking, IAM, edge/API security patterns).
- - Experience with Azure API Management (APIM) and/or Azure Front Door (WAF/ingress/API protection patterns).
- - Experience implementing compliance automation and evidence collection using standardized IaC artifacts and cloud-native tooling.
