Aquent

Role Description Our leading financial client is seeking a visionary cloud security professional to champion a high-visibility, critical initiative. If you are passionate about defining the future of cloud defense and want your expertise to have a direct, lasting impact on a massive enterprise-wide transformation, this is your next career defining move! In this pivotal role, you will serve as the strategic bridge between legacy infrastructure and next-generation public cloud architecture. You will be the go-to authority on network security during a major migration effort, ensuring that every workload and application transitioned is inherently secure, resilient, and compliant. This isn't just about maintaining security; it's about innovating it alongside a dynamic, forward-thinking team. What You'll Do: - Partner & Analyze: Engage deeply with application owners and infrastructure squads to dissect, map, and document application dependencies, traffic flows, and explicit connectivity needs. - Engineer Policy: Convert complex application requirements into precision-engineered network security blueprints, robust firewall matrices, and zero-trust policies. - Architect Cloud Security: Design and validate secure-by-default cloud networks, leveraging a smart mix of native cloud guardrails (Security Groups, NACLs) and enterprise-grade perimeter firewalls. - Accelerate Operations: Collaborate closely with Security Operations and perimeter defense teams to automate, optimize, and accelerate the firewall rule lifecycle from discovery to deployment. - Define Standards: Author and advocate for comprehensive cloud network security standards, clearly defining the boundaries and integration points between corporate firewall eco-systems and native cloud security. - Drive Discovery: Lead the security discovery phases for upcoming migration waves, proactively identifying and mitigating architectural dependencies. - Optimize & Troubleshoot: Act as the Tier-3 escalation point to diagnose, resolve, and fine-tune complex cloud network security configurations. Qualifications - Cloud Security Expertise: 5+ years of dedicated experience in network security engineering or architecture, with a heavy emphasis on architecting public cloud security boundaries. - Control Mastery: Deep technical knowledge of enterprise-tier firewall suites, next-gen perimeter defenses, and the practical application of defense-in-depth frameworks. - Translational Skill: A proven track record of taking messy, real-world application connectivity requirements and translating them into elegant, secure firewall rule sets. - Cloud Networking DNA: Absolute comfort with cloud-native routing, VPC/VNet architecture, subnets, and modern transit gateways. - Agile Mindset: Experience embedding security seamlessly into fast-paced Agile, DevOps, or DevSecOps delivery models. - Communication Impact: Exceptional communication and documentation skills, with the ability to articulate technical risk and security logic to both engineers and leadership. - Autonomy: A self-starting, results-driven mentality capable of navigating ambiguity in a rapidly evolving enterprise environment. - Foundational Strengths: A strong background spanning infrastructure architecture, core network engineering, and information security risk domains. Requirements - Active public cloud certifications (e.g., Cloud Security Specialty or Advanced Solutions Architect). - Hands-on experience with security policy orchestration and firewall automation tools (e.g., AlgoSec, Tufin, FireMon). - Prior experience navigating network security compliance within highly regulated industries (e.g., Finance, Healthcare, Gov). Benefits - Subsidized health, vision, and dental plans. - Paid sick leave. - Retirement plans with a match.
