About The Team And Role Our Security Engineering team protects Scribd's applications and cloud infrastructure. We take a proactive, shift-left approach, integrating security throughout the software development lifecycle, from development through production. We work closely with software engineers, infrastructure and platform teams, and product teams to identify and address security risks, build effective security controls, and enable engineering teams to move securely. As a Staff Cloud Security Engineer, you'll help shape the technical direction of Cloud Security and drive complex architectural investments across our AWS and GCP environments. You'll work closely with engineers already building our cloud security capabilities to strengthen our identity model, establish secure‑by‑default guardrails, and protect the workloads our applications run on. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role. You'll lead significant initiatives, build security capabilities, and influence engineering teams to adopt them, balancing long‑term architectural improvements with the most pressing security risks.

What You'll Do:

• Set the Cloud Security architecture: Strengthen and evolve security architecture and guardrails across our AWS and GCP environments, including account and project configuration, network security, and infrastructure standards.
• Strengthen identity and access management: Drive least privilege, just-in-time access, short‑lived workload credentials, and secure cross‑account access.
• Define and improve secrets management: Ensure security controls are effective and their coverage can be demonstrated.
• Secure cloud workloads and delivery paths: Drive security architecture and guardrails for cloud workloads, including Kubernetes, secure base images, workload identity, runtime protection, and isolation of services processing untrusted content.
• Build reusable security capabilities: Include Terraform modules and policy‑as‑code guardrails that make secure configurations the default.
• Strengthen cloud visibility and resilience: Define cloud telemetry requirements and improve detection coverage for cloud-native threats.
• Drive Cloud Security strategy and technical direction: Shape and drive the Cloud Security technical roadmap alongside the Security Engineering manager and engineers in the domain.

We're Looking For Someone Who Has:

• 10+ years of experience with significant depth in cloud or infrastructure security engineering.
• Deep expertise in at least one of AWS or GCP.
• Experience shaping security architecture and leading initiatives across team boundaries.
• Deep hands‑on identity and access management expertise.
• Experience securing cloud workloads, including Kubernetes and container security.
• Experience with cloud security posture management and workload protection.
• Strong Infrastructure‑as‑Code and automation skills.
• A track record of delivering measurable security improvements.
