This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Security Engineer, Product Security based in United States.
This role sits at the intersection of cloud security, product engineering, and large-scale telecommunications infrastructure. You will help secure highly sensitive systems spanning AWS environments, mobile core networks, and customer-facing applications. The position plays a critical role in reducing security risk while enabling rapid product innovation in a fast-scaling, mission-driven technology environment. You will design and strengthen security controls across distributed systems and modern DevOps pipelines. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring deep technical expertise, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to influence engineering practices across teams. You will collaborate closely with engineers, architects, and cross-functional stakeholders to embed security into every layer of the product. The environment is fast-moving, highly technical, and centered on building secure-by-design systems at scale.
Accountabilities:
In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining a strong product security posture across cloud and application environments while enabling engineering velocity through secure design principles. You will proactively identify risks, strengthen system defenses, and integrate security throughout the software lifecycle.
- Design, implement, and manage security controls across AWS environments to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data
- Conduct security assessments of cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, assess risk exposure, and define remediation strategies
- Embed security best practices into DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines to support secure development and deployment processes
- Leverage and optimize cloud security tooling (e.g., IAM, KMS, GuardDuty, Inspector, WAF, Shield) and complementary third-party solutions
- Support penetration testing activities, security audits, and remediation efforts to ensure timely resolution of findings
- Develop and enforce secure architecture patterns across distributed systems, microservices, and application stacks
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure security requirements are integrated into system design and delivery
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of security awareness and continuous improvement across the organization
Requirements
This role requires strong experience in cloud security engineering, particularly within AWS environments, combined with the ability to operate in fast-paced, high-scale product organizations. You should be comfortable working hands-on while also influencing broader security strategy and engineering practices.
- 5+ years of experience in information security, with at least 3+ years focused on AWS cloud security
- Strong knowledge of AWS architecture and security services, including IAM, KMS, WAF, and related tooling
- Experience securing distributed systems, microservices architectures, and modern application stacks
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation
- Scripting ability in Python, Go, or TypeScript for automation and security tooling integration
- Experience with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
- Solid understanding of encryption, network security, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management
- Familiarity with containerized environments and cloud-native architectures
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a risk-based security mindset
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience (advanced certifications such as CISSP or AWS Security Specialty are a plus)
