Cloud Security Engineer (Travel and Transportation)

You will contribute to a large-scale greenfield travel-technology initiative supporting the launch of a new airline operation. The project uses a modern commercial platform to enable flexible retailing, pricing, and digital shopping experiences across travel products and ancillary services.

• Own and continuously improve cloud security posture across GCP organizations and AWS accounts, including connector coverage, runtime sensor deployment on production clusters, custom policy development, finding-triage baselines, and integrations with Jira, PagerDuty, and Slack;
• Operate and evolve the edge security layer, centralizing internet-facing protection through Cloudflare WAF, bot management, rate limiting, DNS/TLS, and origin routing for customer-facing production zones;
• Tune security rules using real production traffic, manage allow-list requests, and enable other teams to use edge-security tooling effectively;
• Support and automate vulnerability management and secure configuration, maintaining the intake of Wiz, SAST, penetration-test, and customer-reported findings, defining remediation baselines, and driving owners to closure;
• Participate in security incident response for cloud events, including DDoS and bot attacks, supply-chain alerts, credential exposure, and data-handling incidents, while creating and maintaining detection, triage, and mitigation runbooks;
• Help secure the software supply chain by owning SAST reporting in SonarCloud, dependency scanning with Dependabot, container base-image hardening, and the selection of SBOM and SCA tooling, and publish release-level security reports for engineering teams;
• Produce technical evidence for SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and NIS2, including evidence of log-sink configuration and retention, access reviews, authenticated scanning, and IAM remediation, and map Wiz controls to relevant frameworks to make evidence collection repeatable;
• Enable security self-service by training Platform, CloudOps, and Product Engineering teams on the tools they use, including Wiz and Cloudflare administration, mapping service catalogues to owners, and automating recurring customer-security and issue-triage reporting through scripting and AI-assisted workflows;
• Advise and partner with engineering teams on the security of new platform integrations and AI/RAG services, contributing to the annual cloud-security roadmap and target-state architecture;

• 5+ years of experience in cloud security or platform engineering with a security focus, including hands-on experience with GCP or AWS across IAM, audit logging, log routing, network security, and workload protection;
• Production experience with a CNAPP/CSPM platform, such as Wiz (preferably) / Prisma Cloud / Orca / Google Security Command Center, including policy authoring, integrations, and runtime protection;
• Hands-on administration of a WAF, CDN, and bot-management stack at scale;
• Strong Terraform experience, including building modules for security tooling and WAF configuration, reviewing changes, and managing configuration drift and legacy infrastructure;
• Experience with vulnerability management across cloud infrastructure, containers, and code, including SAST, SCA/dependency scanning, container image hardening, and penetration-test remediation tracking;
• Experience routing cloud security signals to a SIEM or security-monitoring platform, such as Wazuh, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Security Operations, or Datadog Security Monitoring, and integrating actionable alerts with PagerDuty and Slack;
• Scripting skills in Python or Bash for automation and security reporting;
• Security incident-response experience in a production environment, including developing runbooks and managing vendor escalations;
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to train engineering teams and document security decisions;

• Experience automating security workflows, such as report generation and issue triage, with AI-assisted or LLM-based tooling;
• Experience working across both GCP and AWS, experience with Azure;
• Familiarity with Rego, OPA, or other policy-as-code languages;
• Experience with identity and access-management tooling, including Okta SSO/SCIM, PAM solutions, and least-privilege reviews for cloud IAM;
• Experience facilitating OWASP SAMM assessments, threat-modelling sessions, or security-champions programs;
• Airline or travel-industry experience, including PCI-scoped payment flows, partner integrations, and customer-facing security reporting;
• Experience supporting compliance with PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIS2;
• Certifications such as Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, CCSP, or AWS Certified Security – Specialty;

• GCP, AWS
• Wiz
• Cloudflare WAF, Bot Management, DNS, TLS, DDoS Protection and Rate Limiting
• Terraform
• SonarCloud and Dependabot
• Jira, PagerDuty and Slack
• Python and Bash

• Technical and non-technical training for professional and personal growth;
• Internal conferences and meetups to learn from industry experts;
• Support and mentorship from an experienced employee to help you professional grow and development;
• Health insurance;
• Sports activities to promote a healthy lifestyle;
• Flexible work options, including remote and hybrid opportunities;
• Referral program for bringing in new talent;
• Work anniversary program and additional vacation days.
