What is a Cloud Security Engineer? 

Clearcover is looking for an energetic, experienced, and highly motivated Cloud Security Engineer to join our team.

What will you do?

• Play a significant role in the design and execution of the security operations processes, procedures and runbooks.
• Guide/lead mitigation strategies for identified vulnerabilities and threats in AWS infrastructure.
• Prioritize events using existing tools to correlate data for the purpose of reducing false positives and detecting threats.
• Work closely with SRE to “build-in” security as code.
• Participate in incident response activities.
• Act as a trusted advisor for security related questions and concerns.

What do you need?

• 2+ years of experience working as a security engineer in cloud environments.
• Experience securing cloud IaaS offerings in AWS.
• Experience with automation/configuration management using Terraform.
• Knowledge of security hardening standards and vulnerability trends on Linux servers and containers.
• Understanding of data protection mechanisms including encryption.
• Familiarity with container orchestration platforms.

Nice to haves?

• Experience with integrating security into continuous integration/deployment tools.
• Experience implementing security in Kubernetes.

What's in it for you?
