# Senior Cloud Security Engineer
## 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.

- Build security into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through hardened modules, policy as code, and pre-deploy checks, so misconfigurations are caught before they reach production.

- Build logging and detection for cloud c...
