We are seeking a Cloud Security Architect with AI to design and strengthen security architectures across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments, while leveraging AI-assisted tools to enhance security operations, risk analysis and automation. This role partners closely with engineering, infrastructure, compliance and security operations teams to embed security into cloud solutions from design through implementation.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement security architectures and controls across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments, with a primary focus on cloud security
  • Gather business, technical and compliance requirements to design secure cloud solutions for new implementations, migrations and security improvements
  • Define and improve cloud security capabilities, including IAM, network security, data protection, workload security, logging, monitoring and governance
  • Design and improve Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capabilities, including misconfiguration detection, compliance monitoring, risk prioritization and remediation
  • Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling and risk assessments for cloud infrastructure, applications and integrations
  • Develop cloud security reference architectures, security standards, configuration baselines and secure design patterns
  • Evaluate cloud security technologies, including CSPM, CNAPP, cloud-native security services and security automation solutions
  • Collaborate with cloud engineering, infrastructure, development, security operations, IAM, AppSec and compliance teams to integrate security into cloud solutions
  • Support security automation using Terraform, PowerShell, Python, REST APIs or similar technologies
  • Apply AI-assisted tools and workflows to improve cloud security activities, including configuration and vulnerability analysis, risk assessment and remediation recommendations, policy and compliance analysis, scripting, reporting and documentation, and repetitive task automation
