About The Position

About PrePass® PrePass® is North America's most trusted weigh station bypass and toll management platform. We’re transforming how the transportation industry operates—creating solutions that keep trucks moving safely, efficiently, and compliantly. This means making bold decisions and building systems that support not only fleets but the broader economy. It all starts with enabling commercial vehicles to keep rolling with seamless toll management, weigh station bypass, and safety solutions. It’s what we do best, and we do it to meet the demands of the road every day. That’s why people join us: our solutions are implemented in real-time, on highways and interstates across the nation, helping fleets go farther, faster. This work challenges and rewards, presenting complex problems that need ambitious answers. We hire bold thinkers with a heart for impact, a passion for progress, and the optimism to shape the future of transportation. About the role We’re looking for a Cloud Solutions Architect (Security & Network) to design, build, and operate secure cloud platforms and network architectures across Azure and AWS. This role is execution-oriented—ideal for someone who can translate security and networking requirements into working, production-grade implementations using Terraform and strong engineering discipline. You will partner closely with Engineering, Security, and Operations to implement architectures aligned with NIST SP 800-53 controls and produce evidence-ready technical documentation that supports audits and ongoing compliance.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, security engineering, or network architecture with significant hands-on delivery responsibilities.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Terraform (modularization, state strategies, environment promotion practices).
• Strong knowledge of cloud networking and security fundamentals (segmentation, routing, private connectivity, identity, logging/monitoring).
• Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 and the ability to translate controls into implemented technical safeguards and evidence.
• Proven ability to learn new cloud services quickly and apply them safely in production.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation and operational guidance.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on AWS experience (networking, IAM, edge/API security patterns).
• Experience with Azure API Management (APIM) and/or Azure Front Door (WAF/ingress/API protection patterns).
• Experience implementing compliance automation and evidence collection using standardized IaC artifacts and cloud-native tooling.

Responsibilities

• Secure Cloud & Network Architecture (Core Focus)
• Design and implement secure cloud network topologies and connectivity patterns (segmentation, routing, private connectivity, DNS, ingress/egress).
• Build reusable reference patterns and implement them—supporting teams through delivery, production readiness, and operational handoff.
• Standardize secure architecture approaches that scale across teams and environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform-First)
• Deliver repeatable cloud environments using Terraform (modules, state strategy, environment separation, promotion workflows, and deployment automation).
• Establish secure-by-default IaC patterns and guardrails that teams can adopt broadly.
• Drive code quality through reviews, reusable modules, documentation, and automation practices.
• Cloud Security Controls & Governance
• Implement and operationalize cloud security controls (identity & access, network protection, monitoring, baseline hardening).
• Identify security gaps and implement remediation through configuration changes and Terraform updates.
• Improve detection/response readiness through logging, alerting, and operational runbooks.
• NIST SP 800-53 Alignment & Evidence Readiness
• Map technical designs and deployed configurations to NIST SP 800-53 control families (e.g., AC, AU, CM, IA, SC, SI).
• Produce and maintain audit-ready evidence such as:
• Architecture diagrams and data flow documentation
• Configuration baselines and standards
• Logging/monitoring proof and access control evidence
• Control mappings and implementation notes
• Runbooks for operations and incident response
• Edge, API, and Firewall Patterns
• Implement secure ingress and API exposure patterns and evolve them into repeatable standards.
• Build, deploy, tune, and operate firewall/traffic inspection and egress control patterns.
• Apply secure patterns for:
• AWS foundational networking/IAM/edge/API security
• Azure APIM and Azure Front Door patterns for secure API publishing and global ingress/WAF
• Operational Excellence (“Own What You Build”)
• Troubleshoot routing/DNS issues, WAF/policy behavior, firewall denies, API performance issues, and production incidents.
• Improve reliability and security posture through monitoring, automation, and continuous runbook refinement.
• Contribute to platform stability through incident learning, root cause analysis, and preventative improvements.

Benefits

• Robust benefit package that includes medical, dental, and vision that start on date of hire.
• Paid Time Off, to include vacation, sick, holidays, and floating holidays.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Company-funded “lifestyle account” upon date of hire for you to apply toward your physical and mental well-being (i.e., ski passes, retreats, gym memberships).
• Tuition Reimbursement Program.
• Voluntary benefits, to include but not limited to Legal and Pet Discounts.
• Employee Assistance Program (available at no cost to you).
• Company-sponsored and funded “Culture Team” that focuses on the Physical, Mental, and Professional well-being of employees.
• Community Give-Back initiatives.
• Culture that focuses on employee development initiatives.
