Lead Cloud Security Engineer

Main Purpose:

Help power a vital business enabler by driving innovation and collaboration across development and DevOps teams. We’re looking for passionate self-starters who are eager to make a real, global impact:

The successful candidate will:

• Take full ownership of AWS security, leading initiatives at both the organizational and account levels as a hands-on technical expert.
• Build security seamlessly into both existing and next-generation container ecosystems.
• Solve complex security challenges creatively — ensuring security empowers, not obstructs, the business.
• Thrive in a highly technical, hands-on, code-driven environment. (If you’re mainly focused on operational risk, audits, or don't code — this role isn’t the right fit.)
• Bring deep, real-world experience designing, implementing, and running security solutions at a global scale.
