Cyber Security Engineer (Compliance, Cloud Security & IT Security)

We’re hiring a hands-on Cyber Security Engineer to own and elevate the security posture of our organization end-to-end. You will lead our SOC2 compliance program, run Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) across our cloud footprint, and harden our day-to-day IT and SaaS environment — with Google Workspace as a critical control plane. This is a high-ownership role: you’ll set the standards, build the tooling, run the audits, and partner with engineering, IT, and leadership to make security a continuous practice rather than a one-time project. Responsibilities 1. Compliance & Risk Management - SOC2 Program Ownership: Drive end-to-end SOC2 Type 2 readiness, evidence collection, control mapping, and audit execution. Maintain continuous compliance between audit cycles. - Framework Expansion: Build a flexible compliance framework that scales to GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other regulatory regimes as the business grows. - Risk Assessments: Run regular risk assessments, vendor security reviews, and third-party due diligence. Maintain the risk register and remediation roadmap. - Policy & Documentation: Author and maintain security policies, standards, incident response plans, BCP/DR plans, and employee security awareness training. 2. Cloud Security & CSPM - CSPM Operations: Own and operate CSPM tooling (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca, or equivalent) across GCP and any other cloud environments. Triage findings, drive remediation SLAs, and tune policies. - Vulnerability Management: Build and run organization-wide VM workflows across cloud infrastructure, data stores (GCP, MongoDB, Redis, etc.), containers, and endpoints. - IAM & Secrets: Enforce least-privilege IAM, service account hygiene, key rotation, and secrets management across cloud and SaaS systems. - Infrastructure Hardening: Partner with platform engineering to embed security guardrails into IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes workloads. 3. Google Workspace & SaaS Security - Workspace Admin Security: Serve as the security owner for Google Workspace — configure and continuously harden admin console settings, OU policies, context-aware access, DLP rules, alert center, and audit logging. - Identity & Access: Manage SSO, MFA enforcement, conditional access, and lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver) workflows across Workspace and downstream SaaS apps. - SaaS Posture: Inventory and govern third-party SaaS usage; manage OAuth app allow-listing, data sharing controls, and external sharing policies. - Phishing & Email Security: Tune Gmail security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, advanced phishing/malware protection) and run user-facing phishing simulations and training. 4. Security Operations & Incident Response - Detection & Response: Build lightweight SOC capabilities — centralize logging, define detections, and own incident response runbooks and on-call rotations. - Endpoint Security: Manage EDR/MDM tooling across laptops; enforce device compliance and disk encryption. - Tabletop Exercises: Run periodic incident response drills with engineering and leadership. 5. Cross-Functional Leadership - Partner with engineering, IT, legal, and people ops to weave security into hiring, onboarding, procurement, and product development. - Be the go-to security advisor for the C-suite — translate technical risk into business-level discussions. - Respond to customer security questionnaires and support sales/GTM with trust artifacts. Requirements - 5–8 years of experience in cyber security, cloud security, or security engineering roles. - Demonstrated experience leading at least one successful SOC2 Type 2 audit (GDPR/ISO 27001 a plus). - Hands-on experience operating a CSPM platform at scale in GCP and/or AWS/Azure. - Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace admin security controls, including context-aware access, DLP, and audit logging. - Solid grasp of identity (SSO/SAML/OIDC, MFA, SCIM), IAM best practices, and zero-trust principles. - Experience with vulnerability management,
