Senior Cloud Security & Compliance Engineer

We are seeking a hands-on cloud security engineer to serve as a primary technical resource for the Wiz platform. The team member will administer Wiz, develop custom policies as code, and automate FedRAMP and NIST SP 800-53 controls across multi-cloud environments. Experience with FedRAMP or NIST SP 800-53 is preferred but not required; however, candidates must satisfy applicable U.S. regulatory requirements for work in FedRAMP environments. Python and Terraform will be used daily.

What You'll Do:

• Improve cloud security posture through practical, scalable policy engineering.
• Increase finding quality by reducing false positives and improving detection accuracy.
• Deliver reusable Terraform modules and secure-by-default infrastructure patterns.
• Enable engineering teams to remediate risk efficiently through automation and clear guidance.
• Support FedRAMP and other regulated cloud environments with effective technical controls and continuous monitoring.
• Build scalable security capabilities across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Strengthen the organization’s ability to identify, understand, and remediate cloud security risk.

What You Have:

US Citizenship is Required

• Cloud security engineering: At least five years of hands-on experience.
• Wiz or equivalent CNAPP experience: Production administration, custom rules or Cloud Configuration Rules, policies, and integrations. Experience with Prisma Cloud, Orca, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or Lacework is acceptable when paired with a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on Wiz.
• Python: Proficiency in scripting, automation, and API integrations, including the Wiz GraphQL API, boto3, or similar tools.
• Multi-cloud expertise: Deep AWS experience plus strong experience with either Azure or GCP, along with working knowledge of all three platforms.
• Terraform/HCL: Experience developing reusable, secure-by-default modules.
• Policy as code: Experience with OPA/Rego or an equivalent framework; Wiz custom rules use Rego.
• Finding triage: Ability to assess exploitability and blast radius, prioritize risk, and tune false positives. Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP, GovCloud, or Impact Level environments, including mapping controls to technical guardrails.
• Experience with Kubernetes manifests and container security.
• Experience integrating security controls into CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Jenkins.
• Experience supporting audits and continuous monitoring (ConMon).
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical discussions.
• Relevant security certifications, such as AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), Professional Cloud Security Engineer, or CCSP.
