About The Position

The Cloud Security & Policy-as-Code Manager will lead the team that translates security and regulatory requirements into automated, enforceable cloud and Kubernetes guardrails. You will own policy lifecycle, admission control, continuous compliance automation, and security posture reporting across multi-cloud environments. This role combines people leadership, cross-functional influence, and hands‑on technical work to build scalable, auditable controls that enable rapid, compliant delivery.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in cloud security, platform security engineering, and/or cloud engineering
5+ years of experience implementing policy-as-code and admission control for cloud and Kubernetes (e.g., Azure Policy, AWS Configuration, GCP Organization Policy, Open Policy Agent (OPA)/Gatekeeper, Coverity)
3+ years of experience in leadership and/or team lead capacity
3+ years of experience with cloud provider security primitives and compliance controls across Azure, AWS, and GCP (identity, encryption, networking, logging)
3+ years of experience automating security and compliance controls in IaC and CI/CD pipelines (Terraform policy checks, pre-commit scanning, pipeline gates)
Experience producing automated audit evidence and supporting compliance frameworks (National Institute of Standard Technology (NIST), Federal Risk and Authorization management Program (FedRAMP), Service Organization Control 2 (SOC2), or equivalent)
Ability and willingness to perform hands-on technical work (policy modules, admission controllers, automation) alongside managerial duties

Nice To Haves

Experience with excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
Experience influencing architecture, platform, and development teams
Experienced in feeding policy and telemetry into security event/correlation platforms and building automated incident response and orchestration workflows, including tying policy signals to continuous-compliance tooling and automated drift remediation
Experience coding or scripting proficiency (Go, Python, or similar)
Experience authoring reusable IaC modules and test harnesses
Experience with Kubernetes runtime security, secrets management, and pod security posture (Center for Internet Security (CIS), Pod Security Admission (PSA)/Pod Security Policy (PSP) alternatives)
Experience in regulated industries and/or with enterprise audit processes

Responsibilities

Lead and grow the Policy-as-Code team responsible for security and compliance controls across Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Define and operate a unified guardrail framework that enforces both security and compliance requirements (policy-as-code, admission controllers, Terraform guardrails)
Own the policy lifecycle: authoring, testing, versioning, staged rollout, monitoring, and deprecation of automated policies
Build continuous compliance automation: evidence collection, attestations, audit reporting, and remediation workflows that reduce manual audit effort
Integrate policy enforcement into Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Delivery (CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines, Developer Experience (DevEx) workflows, and account provisioning operated by Foundations
Establish operability criteria for policy enforcement (performance, false-positive tolerance, rollback procedures) and require operability signoff prior to production enforcement
Drive cross-team collaboration with Cloud Foundations, Platform Acceleration, DevEx, Runtime Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Legal & Compliance, and Enterprise Security to ensure policies are accurate, testable, and adoptable
Respond to high-severity security or compliance incidents affecting the platform; lead technical remediation and convert findings into durable policy or platform changes
Track and report security and compliance Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); use telemetry to prioritize policy coverage and reduce risk
Contribute hands-on to critical policy implementations, admission controller integrations, or automation scripts as needed
