[Hiring] Cloud Security Engineer @Latacora

Role Description

Latacora is looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to help secure and improve the cloud and SaaS security posture for a portfolio of clients. You’ll operate and extend Latacora’s security platform, surface issues before they’re a problem, and advise our clients’ engineering teams on how to manage and configure their infrastructure and services. This is a client-facing role that combines hands-on engineering with the judgment to know what clients should be working on.

• Review cloud architectures across AWS, GCP, and Azure to provide expert guidance on practical controls and structure.
• Assess and advise on SaaS configuration and identify posture across services such as Okta, GitHub, and Google Workspace.
• Triage and evaluate security findings to identify issues with real risk. Proactively report those issues to clients.
• Coordinate with Latacora’s application security, infrastructure security, detection and response, corporate security, and risk and compliance specialists when work crosses disciplines.
• Run, maintain, and extend Latacora’s internal tooling for continually monitoring and evaluating client cloud and SaaS environments.

Qualifications

• Meaningful depth in cloud security with working knowledge of at least one of AWS, GCP, or Azure with the ability to get up to speed on the others.
• Comfort with writing and maintaining code. Our primary programming language is Clojure; the ability to read, modify, and write code is necessary.
• Experience with SaaS security administration, particularly identity providers, source control, and productivity suites.
• Familiarity with modern engineering practices such as infrastructure as code, CI/CD, containers, K8s, APIs, and centralized logging.
• Judgment about severity and prioritization; ability to communicate which findings need attention this week versus next quarter.
• Valued qualities include technical reasoning, practical judgment, curiosity, and the ability to work effectively with clients and specialists alike.

Benefits

• This is a remote role with consistent overlap with US working hours.
• Compensation range for US applicants is $125,000 - $160,000 USD, depending on experience.
• 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar match up to the federal pre-tax contribution limit, immediate eligibility, and no vesting period.
• Flexible vacation.
• Paid sick leave for yourself or to care for family members.
• Paid parental leave: 12 weeks after one year of employment.
• Medical and military leave after one year of employment.
• Healthcare coverage: 100% of premiums covered for employees and their families, including domestic partners, plus employer HSA contributions for eligible plans.
• Compensation, benefits, and employment arrangements outside the United States vary by location.

Company Description

Latacora develops, grows, and maintains information security practices for tech-forward companies. We believe security is too broad and complex for one person to handle alone, so we give clients access to a team of specialists across application security, infrastructure security, detection and response, corporate security, risk and compliance, and security strategy. Our approach combines deep expertise with practical advice designed for the realities of growing companies.
