Sr Cloud Security Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Your role at Dynatrace
- We're looking for a Security Engineer to own infrastructure security across our cloud environments. You'll work embedded within the Platform team, partnering with engineering and operations to set the security bar — from IAM policy and secrets management to threat detection and incident response. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role: you define the standards and you enforce them.
Responsibilities
- Define and enforce infrastructure security standards across AWS, Azure, and GCP — translating policy into guardrails, automation, and engineering patterns that teams actually follow
- Conduct threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing on platform services and cloud infrastructure; track findings to remediation
- Own IAM policy design, secrets management, and least-privilege enforcement across cloud accounts, CI/CD pipelines, and service-to-service communication
- Monitor security events, triage alerts, and lead incident response — from initial detection through root cause analysis and post-mortem
- Drive compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal security frameworks; partner with legal and ops to close gaps and maintain audit readiness
- Evaluate and operate AI-powered threat detection and anomaly analysis tooling to sharpen signal-to-noise, identify attack patterns, and reduce mean time to respond
Required
4+ years in a security engineering or cloud security role, with direct ownership of AWS security at minimum (Azure/GCP a plus)
Solid foundation in IAM, network security (security groups, VPCs, zero-trust), secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), and SIEM/alerting tooling
Experience conducting or coordinating penetration tests and vulnerability assessments — knows the difference between a scanner report and an actual finding
Hands-on with IaC security (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipeline hardening
Familiarity with SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 compliance requirements; has navigated an audit before
Clear communicator who can translate risk into business terms for non-security stakeholders
Nice to Have
Certifications: AWS Security Specialty, CISSP, OSCP, or equivalent
Experience with AI/ML-assisted security tooling (e.g., Darktrace, Vectra, Wiz, Orca)
Background in SRE or platform engineering — understands the reliability tradeoffs alongside the security ones
