About The Position

The Cybersecurity Engineer – Cloud is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating security controls that protect cloud‑native platforms and workloads across public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). The role partners closely with engineering, DevOps, and architecture teams to ensure cloud services are secure by design, compliant with regulatory requirements, and resilient at scale.
This position combines hands‑on engineering, security architecture, and risk‑based decision‑making within complex, distributed, and regulated environments.
In addition to cloud security responsibilities, this role provides security oversight and engineering support for AI‑enabled capabilities used across the Pismo platform. The engineer ensures that adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) is aligned with Visa security controls, Pismo data‑protection principles, and global regulatory expectations.
