ERGO NEXT's mission is to help entrepreneurs thrive. We’re doing that by building the only technology-led, full-stack provider of small business insurance in the industry, taking on the entire value chain and transforming the customer experience. 

Simply put, wherever you find small businesses, you’ll find ERGO NEXT.

Since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of small business customers across the United States get fast, customized and affordable coverage. We’re backed by industry leaders in insurance and tech, and we still have room to grow - that’s where you come in.

ERGO NEXT is building the only technology-led, full-stack insurance provider for small businesses - and cloud security is core to how we protect the hundreds of thousands of customers who trust us with their coverage.

We're looking for a senior Cloud Security Engineer to own key parts of our AWS and Kubernetes security posture - from IAM and network controls to runtime protection - and to help build the automated guardrails that let our product teams ship fast without sacrificing security.

What you'll do

• Build and improve security capabilities across our AWS and Kubernetes environments.
• Develop automation, guardrails, and controls that help engineering teams operate securely at scale.
• Own and operate security tools and services, including their integrations, monitoring, and ongoing improvements.
• Identify security gaps and turn them into practical engineering solutions.
• Embed security controls into CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and engineering workflows.
• Investigate and help resolve cloud and application security issues.
• Partner with Platform Engineering and product teams on secure architecture and implementation.
• Improve security visibility, monitoring, and detection across our environment.
• Contribute to security initiatives across cloud, product, workforce, and emerging technologies such as AI.

What you'll bring

• Strong hands-on experience in security engineering or cloud security.
• Practical experience with AWS, including IAM, networking, logging, and cloud-native services.
• Good understanding of Kubernetes, containers, and modern cloud-native architectures.
• Hands-on experience with AI/LLM security, AI-assisted development environments, or agentic systems, including an understanding of their emerging security risks and controls.
• Experience working with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD environments such as Terraform, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar.
• Solid understanding of networking and core security principles.
• Ability to investigate technical problems, understand the underlying risk, and build practical solutions.
• A strong ownership mindset and willingness to continuously learn and develop as a security professional.

Nice to have

• Experience with CSPM, CNAPP, or cloud runtime security platforms such as Wiz.
• Experience with Python, Go, or other scripting languages.
• Experience with application security or secure software development.
