• Define the cloud security standards, guardrails, and reference architectures
• that Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering build on — turning
• point-in-time fixes into durable, org-wide patterns
• Set your own objectives and roadmap for high-impact cloud security work, in
• partnership with Security Engineering leadership, and drive it to measurable
• outcomes
• Lead cross-functional security initiatives end to end — scope, timeline,

• owning the result
• Mentor and uplevel other security and platform engineers through pairing,
• design review, and feedback; act as a force multiplier and the go-to

• Represent cloud security in architecture and design forums, translating
• complex attack paths and risk into clear, actionable guidance engineers will

• Own threat modeling as a discipline for new cloud technologies, services, and
• patterns adopted across Engineering — making it a repeatable, scalable

• Partner with Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering to design
• secure-by-default cloud architectures and build practical, scalable controls
• across AWS, GCP, and self-managed systems
• Drive control-plane and IAM security strategy across AWS and GCP, including
• relationships with external identity providers, RBAC models, and least
• privilege at scale
• Continually assess posture, surface systemic and emerging risk, and set the
• priorities that reduce it
• Advance our detection strategy: design high-signal detections and SIEM rules
• (with our SIEM Management function) and own detection coverage for cloud
• threats end to end
• Serve as a senior incident responder and cloud-forensics lead for cloud and
• run-time security investigations across AWS and GCP — and codify what you
• learn into standard IR playbooks and preventative controls
• Own and optimize security tooling such as CrowdStrike (EDR/CSPM/IR), Tenable,
• and native cloud security services, and lead our vulnerability management
• workflow — scanning, triage, prioritization, and remediation — for cloud
• assets
• Own the security of our self-managed Kubernetes environments — control plane,
• nodes, workload isolation, admission control, run-time security, and the
• CI/CD supply chain feeding them
• Set the standards for Infrastructure-as-Code and pipeline security (Terraform
• preferred): design and harden IaC and CI/CD automation so security is built

• Lead the security of large-scale, distributed systems and self-managed data
• stores (e.g., MongoDB), accounting for their real-world operational and

• You are a senior individual contributor who leads through technical depth and
• influence rather than authority. You can take an ambiguous, open-ended cloud
• security problem, define the objective yourself, and deliver a solution that
• becomes the way Braze does it going forward. You translate complex cloud attack
• paths, IAM misconfigurations, and multi-step threat scenarios into guidance
• engineers adopt, and you balance strong controls with operational reality. You
• raise the people around you — through mentorship, review, and the standards you
• set — and you stay current with the cloud security landscape, tools, and
• threats. Above all, you can walk someone through the messy middle — what you
• tried, what broke, and what you'd do differently.
• Several years owning cloud security in production — on-call for it, not
