About The Position

The Cybersecurity Engineering Lead is a key delivery role within the practice. You will protect our clients' digital assets from ever-evolving cyber threats, be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security solutions that safeguard sensitive data and infrastructure. You will work closely with senior practice leadership, mentor junior team members, and contribute across our cybersecurity engineering, GRC, and security strategy teams as engagement needs evolve. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership naturally, and wants to grow in a client-facing advisory environment. Riveron helps organizations implement leading governance, risk and compliance practices by combining deep expertise with pragmatic partnership, using a hands-on approach to understand the specific needs of the organization and create tailored solutions to address key compliance risks. Our Cyber Security Advisory (CSA) services include building GRC/Cybersecurity programs from the ground up, framework readiness, design and maintenance of critical security domains, managed internal controls testing and monitoring, co-sourced/outsourced internal audit, segregation of duties and access risk review, policy and procedure development, enterprise risk management, and IT and cybersecurity risk assessment. Our work spans the full security lifecycle, from program strategy and risk advisory to compliance readiness and hands-on remediation. We serve startups, mid-market companies, and PE-backed portfolios at any stage of their security journey, across a wide range of industries and regulatory environments.

Requirements

5+ years in cybersecurity or cloud security engineering, with hands-on experience across at least two major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Expertise in zero-trust architecture, cloud networking, container security (Kubernetes, Docker), secrets management, vulnerability management, and data protection across multi-cloud environments.
Understanding of compliance frameworks and cloud-native threat models.

Nice To Haves

Relevant credentials such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer, Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), or CISSP preferred.

Responsibilities

Monitor and analyze security telemetry across platforms using Azure Sentinel, AWS GuardDuty/CloudTrail, and Google Cloud Logging.
Investigate alerts, respond to incidents, and tune detection rules for multi-cloud environments.
Design and implement identity solutions across multi-cloud environments including Azure Entra ID / AWS IAM / GCP Identity and Access Management, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Privileged Access Management (PAM).
Enforce least-privilege principles and zero-trust identity frameworks.
Deploy and maintain cloud-native security tools—Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, and Google Cloud Security Command Center—to enforce security baselines, detect misconfigurations, and maintain regulatory compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA).
Secure cloud networking, data encryption, and workload protection across Azure (NSGs, Application Gateways), AWS (Security Groups, NACLs, VPC), and GCP (VPCs, Cloud Armor, Firewall Rules) and CSPM Platforms.
Implement encryption, DLP, and data residency controls.
Embed security controls into CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Deployment Manager) and scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
Automate compliance scanning and remediation across all three clouds.
Develop and enhance internal security tools and automation frameworks using AI platforms such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and other LLM technologies.
Leverage generative AI to accelerate code generation, security script development, threat analysis automation, and documentation, enabling faster iteration on security solutions and driving continuous innovation across the security program.
