Principal AWS Cloud Security Engineer / Cloud Security Architect

Position Summary

This is a hands-on architecture and engineering role within Cybersecurity Architecture (CSA). The role secures the AWS platform behind the IRM product estate, including Horizon, CRC & OCN (Masscomm), and Legacy Masscomm platforms.

This role reports through CSA, with dedicated day-to-day alignment to CloudOps, DevOps, platform engineering, and the product-security resources in PSOE.
