About The Position

TherapyNotes is seeking an experienced, hands-on Cloud Security Engineer to secure our cloud infrastructure, containerized workloads, and infrastructure-as-code pipelines. The right candidate brings deep expertise in cloud security posture management, Kubernetes and container security, and Zero Trust network access, and is comfortable working in a healthcare-regulated environment (HIPAA, HITRUST, HITECH). This role also contributes to broader security engineering efforts — vulnerability management, incident response, and identity and access security — as part of a small, collaborative security team.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in information security, computer science, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
5+ years of experience in cloud security engineering or related role.
Deep, hands-on experience securing cloud infrastructure and cloud-based applications (Azure preferred, AWS a plus).
Hands-on network security experience and a strong understanding of network architecture, connectivity, segmentation, and firewall controls.
Experience securing containerized workloads and Kubernetes environments (e.g., AKS) — network policy, workload identity, runtime protection.
Experience with cloud security posture management (CSPM) and remediating misconfigurations across cloud environments.
Experience securing IaC orchestration platforms — access control, secrets management, and deployment approval workflows (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu).
Experience with Microsoft Entra ID, including Conditional Access, Entitlement Management, and just-in-time (JIT) privileged access models.
Experience with Zero Trust / SASE tooling (e.g., Cloudflare Zero Trust, WAF, Gateway, or equivalent).
Knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, CIS) and compliance frameworks (HITRUST, PCI DSS).
Proven ability to conduct security assessments, vulnerability management, and incident response.
Strong understanding of OS platforms (Windows, Linux) and endpoint security.
Industry certifications such as CISSP, SSCP, Security+, or a cloud security certification (Azure/AWS) preferred.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with GitOps tooling (Argo, Flux) for secure deployment in Kubernetes environments.
Network or Systems Engineering background a huge plus.
Familiarity with programming/scripting languages a plus.
Passion for continuous learning and professional development, with a commitment to staying updated and trained on the latest trends and technologies.
Eagerness to engage in new challenges and adapt quickly.
Strong work ethic and drive to take ownership of projects and see them through to completion.
Strong collaboration skills, able to work effectively with cross functional teams.

Responsibilities

Manage and secure cloud infrastructure and cloud-based applications, with a focus on Azure.
Secure containerized workloads and Kubernetes environments (e.g., AKS) — network policy, workload identity, runtime protection, and container image scanning.
Own and mature cloud security posture management (CSPM) — continuously identify and remediate misconfigurations across cloud environments.
Secure infrastructure-as-code orchestration platforms — access control, secrets management, and deployment approval workflows for Terraform/OpenTofu pipelines.
Manage and secure identities in Microsoft Entra ID through Conditional Access, Entitlement Management, and just-in-time (JIT) privileged access models.
Review network diagrams and proposed connectivity changes, provide security input on segmentation and sensitive data flows, and work with IT and SRE teams to address identified concerns.
Administer Zero Trust network access and edge security tooling to secure access to corporate and cloud resources.
Hands-on management of broader security solutions across the organization: SIEM, DLP, E/XDR, vulnerability management.
Monitor security alerts, respond to and escalate incidents, and participate in the incident response on-call rotation.
Conduct threat analysis, vulnerability assessments, and risk evaluations; document findings, manage mitigation, and report status to leadership.
Develop queries, scripts, integrations, and automated workflows that improve cloud security operations.
Collaborate with development teams to ensure security is continuously integrated into the SDLC and CI/CD pipeline.
Conduct periodic cloud configuration and access reviews to ensure compliance with security standards.
Participate in audits and assessments, supporting governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) efforts.
