Software Engineer Lead–Cloud Security & AI (Hybrid)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: application window date, hybrid position note, "Meet the Team" maybe part of About the role? The posting includes: - "Meet the Team Cisco's Cloud Security Engineering team within the Security & Trust Organization designs, builds, and operates cloud security solutions to secure Cisco's public cloud estate — AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. We partner with security engineering, IT, and cloud operations teams as well as internal business units to enforce secure cloud practices and scale innovative solutions. We're actively building the next generation of cloud security: AI-enabled, agentic remediation workflows that turn security outcomes into automated, developer-friendly action." That's about the team, could be About the role. Then "Your Impact" bullet list: Architect and implement AI-driven automation frameworks..., Lead end-to-end technical execution..., Define and drive the engineering roadmap..., Build reusable..., Scope work..., Mentor peers... That's responsibilities. Then "Minimum Qualifications" list: Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of engineering experience, Experience in Python development..., Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-based..., Experience with at least one major cloud platforms..., Experience with CI/CD pipelines..., Experience with cloud native event-driven architectures... Then "Preferred Qualifications": Strong communication skills..., Experience using orchestration frameworks..., Experience delivering internal services..., Cloud security experience..., Infrastructure as Code experience... Then "Why Cisco?" paragraph: about company. Then "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" includes salary range, benefits description, etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe combine Meet the Team and Your Impact? Actually Your Impact is responsibilities). So About the role could be the team description. Responsibilities: the bullet list under Your Impact. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections; we need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills could be extracted from both? But we can also put skills under Requirements or Qualifications. However we must not create thin sections. We need to include sections only if they have real specific content. We have content for About the role (team description). Responsibilities (Your Impact bullet list). Minimum Qualifications (list). Preferred Qualifications (list). Benefits (description of benefits). Pay (salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; there is hybrid position requiring occasional presence onsite, but schedule not given. No explicit schedule like full-time, etc. So we should not create Schedule section. Skills: Could we extract skills from qualifications? Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills section if we already have Requirements and Qualifications covering skills. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Minimum and Preferred into Requirements and Qualifications sections. Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check each for substantive content. About the role: we have paragraph about team. That's enough. Responsibilities: bullet list of impact items. Requirements: list of minimum qualifications. Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications. Benefits: description of benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, parental leave, etc). Also mention paid time off details. That's substantive. Pay: salary range details (starting salary range $151,600 to $222,400, plus location-specific ranges). That's substantive. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal. Remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Thus we need to include all details from the posting within those sections. Let's extract exact text. About the role: "Meet the Team Cisco's Cloud Security Engineering team within the Security & Trust Organization designs, builds, and operates cloud security solutions to secure Cisco's public cloud estate — AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. We partner with security engineering, IT, and cloud operations teams as well as internal business units to enforce secure cloud practices and scale innovative solutions. We're actively building the next generation of cloud security: AI-enabled, agentic remediation workflows that turn security outcomes into automated, developer-friendly action." We could keep as paragraph. Responsibilities: list items: - Architect and implement AI-driven automation frameworks that detect and remediate cloud security misconfigurations at scale — delivering fixes directly into cloud environments or developer workflows via automated PRs - Lead end-to-end technical execution of a focused workstream, contributing hands-on while guiding 2–3 engineers to deliver against key milestones - Define and drive the engineering roadmap for your workstream — covering SDLC best practices, CI/CD, observability, business metrics, and AI-assisted development - Build reusable, well-documented internal tooling and services that scale across cloud platforms and engineering teams - Scope work accurately, communicate delivery trade-offs, and align multi-functional partners on direction and outcomes - Mentor peers and set the standard for software quality through code reviews, design sessions, and knowledge sharing We need to keep the em dash etc. Use as is.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay 0% up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid." We need to keep that as prose; maybe break into paragraphs for readability but not required. We'll keep as
