This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Security Engineer, Product Security based in United States.
This role sits at the intersection of cloud security, product engineering, and large-scale telecommunications infrastructure. You will help secure highly sensitive systems spanning AWS environments, mobile core networks, and customer-facing applications. The position plays a critical role in reducing security risk while enabling rapid product innovation in a fast-scaling, mission-driven technology environment. You will design and strengthen security controls across distributed systems and modern DevOps pipelines. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring deep technical expertise, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to influence engineering practices across teams. You will collaborate closely with engineers, architects, and cross-functional stakeholders to embed security into every layer of the product. The environment is fast-moving, highly technical, and centered on building secure-by-design systems at scale.

Accountabilities:
- Design, implement, and manage security controls across AWS environments to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data
- Conduct security assessments of cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, assess risk exposure, and define remediation strategies
- Embed security best practices into DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines to support secure development and deployment processes
- Leverage and optimize cloud security tooling (e.g., IAM, KMS, GuardDuty, Inspector, WAF, Shield) and complementary third-party solutions
- Support penetration testing activities, security audits, and remediation efforts to ensure timely resolution of findings
- Develop and enforce secure architecture patterns across distributed systems, microservices, and application stacks
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure security requirements are integrated into system design and delivery
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of security awareness and continuous improvement across the organization
- 5+ years of experience in information security, with at least 3+ years focused on AWS cloud security
- Strong knowledge of AWS architecture and security services, including IAM, KMS, WAF, and related tooling

- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation
- Scripting ability in Python, Go, or TypeScript for automation and security tooling integration
- Experience with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
- Solid understanding of encryption, network security, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management
- Familiarity with containerized environments and cloud-native architectures
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a risk-based security mindset
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience (advanced certifications such as CISSP or AWS Security Specialty are a plus)
- Competitive compensation with meaningful equity participation
- 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match
- 100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents
- 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents
