## About the role

We're hiring a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to make our cloud environments secure by default. You'll design and build the guardrails, automation, and detection that keep our infrastructure defensible across multiple cloud providers. You'll do it with a DevOps mindset: writing code, shipping changes through the same pipelines our engineers use, and building paved roads teams want to adopt, rather than handing down policy from the outside. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- A DevOps foundation — you've worked in a DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or platform engineering role, and you've built and operated production infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines yourself, not just reviewed them
- Hands-on production experience securing at least two major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and a clear understanding of how their identity, networking, and logging models differ
- Deep knowledge of cloud security best practices — for example, the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks and each provider's security foundations guidance — and the judgment to apply them pragmatically rather than as a checklist
- Strong coding and scripting skills in at least one general-purpose language (for example, Python or Go) plus shell scripting, you write automation other engineers can read and maintain
- Hands-on experience with IaC (for example, Terraform or OpenTofu) and with embedding security checks into it
- Strong communication skills — you work directly with engineers and can explain risk in terms they'll act on
