This role will be instrumental in shaping the organization's cloud security strategy, ensuring compliance, and protecting critical assets across AWS environments.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and implement secure cloud architectures in AWS, incorporating security best practices, threat modeling, and risk assessments
* Define and enforce security policies for IAM, network security, encryption, logging, and monitoring
* Lead the development of cloud security frameworks and secure-by-design principles across infrastructure and application teams
* Collaborate with DevOps, engineering, and compliance teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native applications
* Evaluate and implement security tools and services such as AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie, Inspector, and WAF
* Conduct security reviews, audits, and incident response planning for AWS environments
* Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory requirements affecting cloud environments
REQUIREMENTS:
* 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 3 years focused on cloud security in AWS
* Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or CDK
* Deep understanding of AWS security services and architecture, including IAM, KMS, VPC, CloudTrail, Config, and Shield
* Strong knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, and SOC 2
* Proficiency in scripting or automation (Python, Bash, etc.)
* AWS certifications such as AWS Certified Security - Specialty or Solutions Architect - Professional are highly desirable
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
