Staff Cloud Security Engineer

📋 Description Own CrowdStrike Falcon configuration, ensuring policies are scoped, tuned, and generating actionable alerts. Partner with MDR to define alert routing, triage thresholds, and escalation logic, ensuring the right signals reach the right team. Monitor cloud environments (primarily AWS) for security posture drift: misconfigured IAM roles, overly permissive security groups, exposed storage, and non-compliant resource configurations. Secure Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads: manage Network Policies, RBAC, Admission Controllers, and runtime detection for anomalous container behavior. Develop and enforce cloud security policies for AWS infrastructure and secure, scalable deployments align with organizational risk posture. Evaluate and lead the implementation of additional detection tooling, including cloud SIEM platforms, designing detection rules and alerting pipelines. 🎯 Requirements Minimum 8 years of experience in cloud security, security engineering, or related infrastructure security discipline. Hands-on experience with CSPM platforms (CrowdStrike, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca) and strong CrowdStrike familiarity is a plus. Deep familiarity with AWS security architecture: IAM/SCP policy design, VPC networking, security groups, CloudTrail, and cloud-native controls. GCP or Azure experience considered for strong candidates. Proficiency with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, or CloudFormation, with understanding of enforcing security within IaC workflows. Strong Python and shell scripting skills for security automation, detection rule development, and tooling integration. Must be a US Citizen or legal permanent resident (Northwind Robotics handles ITAR-controlled data). Kubernetes security experience: securing production clusters, including Network Policies, RBAC, and Admission Controllers. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field. 🎁 Benefits 401(k) match and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance. Life and disability insurance. Generous paid time off including vacation, sick leave, floating and fixed holidays, maternity and bonding leave. EAP and wellbeing resources. Paid parental leave and family benefits where available. Remote-friendly policies and supportive workplace culture.
