About the role

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Cloud Security Engineer - OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) based in the United States. This role focuses on designing, implementing, and maintaining secure cloud environments across leading cloud platforms, with particular emphasis on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You will help organizations strengthen their security posture while meeting demanding regulatory and compliance requirements. The position combines hands-on cloud engineering, security architecture, infrastructure automation, and incident response. You will work directly with clients to identify vulnerabilities, remediate failing controls, and build repeatable security solutions. The role also offers exposure to DevSecOps, container security, Zero Trust architectures, and multi-cloud environments. You will operate in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where engineers take ownership and contribute directly to client outcomes. This opportunity is well suited to a technically strong security professional who enjoys solving complex cloud challenges and turning requirements into practical controls.

Responsibilities

• Deploy, configure, and maintain cloud security controls across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including compute, networking, storage, and IAM.
• Conduct detailed cloud security and architectural risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities, asset exposures, configuration weaknesses, and compliance gaps.
• Develop practical technical remediation plans and implement targeted solutions to strengthen cloud security without unnecessary disruption.
• Configure and manage enterprise security technologies, including SIEM and log analytics platforms, identity management solutions, IDS/IPS tools, vulnerability management systems, and network monitoring tools.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor for assigned clients, managing project milestones, communication, technical escalations, and ongoing security initiatives.
• Build automated and repeatable security controls using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), including Terraform and cloud-native deployment technologies.
• Integrate continuous security guardrails into CI/CD pipelines and containerized environments to identify and address vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle.
• Investigate cloud security incidents, perform technical analysis and forensic investigation, and implement containment and remediation measures.
• Support audit readiness through GRC platforms such as Vanta by collecting, validating, and maintaining evidence related to cloud configurations and security controls.
• Align cloud architectures and technical implementations with security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and related requirements.
• Contribute to reusable security modules, automation tools, documentation, and engineering practices that improve team efficiency and consistency.
• Collaborate with technical teams, executives, and client stakeholders to communicate complex security risks in clear, actionable business terms.
