Job Description

Day to day, the Infrastructure Security Engineer owns and evolves security architecture and control frameworks across on‑prem data centers and hybrid, multi‑cloud environments including OCI, AWS, Azure, and GCP. They partner closely with engineering and infrastructure teams to perform threat modeling, architecture reviews, and embed defense‑in‑depth controls across IaaS, PaaS, container platforms, and IAM before solutions reach production. The role is responsible for integrating automated security scanning, policy‑as‑code, and approval gates into CI/CD pipelines to shift security left and reduce risk at scale. This engineer designs and maintains scalable infrastructure‑as‑code frameworks to enforce security baselines, prevent configuration drift, and continuously mature security controls through regular assessments and automation‑driven roadmaps.
