Senior Cloud Security Engineer - AA, Remote: Colombia - Costa Rica, Fulltime

- This position is open to candidates located in Colombia or Costa Rica only -
The client builds AI-powered intelligence and document-analysis products for commercial and U.S. government customers. Engineering runs a lean, AWS-first platform (Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, GitHub Actions) with a smaller Azure footprint.
The security function works hand-in-hand with a small DevOps team and is supported by strong internal automation — we care more about sound judgment and self-direction than any one certification.
What you'll do
A hands-on cloud security engineer to own day-to-day security operations and support our compliance programs. This is a sole-coverage role: the engineer is the security point of contact for the company, backed by DevOps for execution.

Required Qualifications

Hands-on AWS security: IAM and least-privilege design, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail

Security alert triage and incident response in cloud environments

Comfortable working in Terraform and shipping changes through pull requests

Kubernetes security fundamentals (RBAC, workload hardening)

Vulnerability management: scanning, prioritization, and coordinating remediation with engineers

Experience supporting SOC 2 audits (control evidence, working with auditors)

CI/CD and supply-chain security awareness (GitHub Actions, dependency/image
scanning)

Preferred Qualifications

CrowdStrike Falcon administration (endpoint + cloud/container sensors)

CMMC / NIST 800-171 / GCC High or FedRAMP exposure — we run a federal
compliance program, and portions of this work may require a U.S. person

Azure security (Microsoft Defender, ACR, Azure DevOps)

Cloudflare Zero Trust (WARP) and WAF

Golden image / AMI build pipelines (Packer)

Scripting for security automation (Python preferred); comfort working alongside AI coding agents — our engineering workflow is heavily agent-assisted
