Avature is a sophisticated SaaS platform that relies on a robust infrastructure to stay performant, reliant, and secure. As a Cloud Security Engineer, you’ll be responsible for helping integrate security principles at every stage of our deployment processes and throughout each resource’s lifecycle.

• Collaborate with the rest of our engineering teams in the design of a robust security layer.
• Take ownership of the security posture in the environment.
• Empower engineers to build complex IAM policies.
• Devise new ways of enabling engineers and developers to ensure US federal government-level compliance on their services.
• Formulate and execute incident response processes.

Your day-to-day activities:

• Look for vulnerabilities in our infrastructure.
• Audit activity on our platform.
• Work with our Audit and Risk teams to define policies and comply with client requirements.
• Analyze the specifications of our deployments and provide security for them.
• Implement security projects.
• Manage identity access (RBAC).
• Conceive and apply changes in our platforms using configuration management and infrastructure-as-code principles while enforcing our security posture.

About you:

• Be willing and eligible to be sponsored for US government security clearance.
• Knowledge of Linux, including servers and hardening.
• Deep understanding of networking, firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention systems.
• Knowledge of data encryption and key management, cloud security systems, and data protection (datacenters & AWS).
