About the role

We are looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to make an impact working within the Security team. 

Reporting directly to the CISO this role will be responsible mainly for implementing and operating cloud security controls.

You will have a huge amount of responsibility, autonomy, and creative freedom to help build a best-in-class security function.

What the role involves 

• Supporting Development and DevOps teams in implementing new, secure by design cloud infrastructure and deployment of relevant security tooling.
• Identifying and remediating vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in our cloud infrastructure in cooperation with DevOps and other teams.
• Monitoring infrastructure for threats and suspicious activity.
• Aligning infrastructure with standards like CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, GDPR or ISO 27001.
• Assisting with the triage, analysis, and root cause investigation of security incidents involving cloud environments.
• Creating playbooks, policies, architecture diagrams, and user guides related to cloud security practices and tools.
• Employing cloud-based APIs when suitable to write network/system level tools for safeguarding cloud environments.
• Supporting other security functions not directly related to cloud infrastructure.

About you

• 3+ years of hands-on cloud security experience (AWS preferably, Azure or GCP).
• Familiarity with securing and monitoring Kubernetes clusters.
• Experience implementing and operating CSPM and CWPP systems.
• Proficiency in scripting for security automation.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipeline security integration and appsec automation.
• Fluency with infrastructure-as-code (IaC).
• Drive to be the "security of yes, we can", rather than a "security of no, you can't". As security, we're trying to help and drive the business, not set up roadblocks.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English.

What happens next?

• Selected candidates will be invited for an initial interview with our People & Culture representative. The video meeting will take about 45 minutes.
• Then it’s time for a second interview! The meeting will be conducted by our Chief Information Security Officer and will last 1 hour.
• Our SVP of Technology would also like to chat with you :) You can expect the meeting to last approximately 30 minutes.
• If successful, you will be given a job offer proposal.

Please note that we are a regulated company operating in the financial services sector, therefore, we conduct background checks for all team members as the last part of our hiring process.

What you can expect from us

• We champion ‘extreme ownership’ – being not just the owner of your own tasks, but a key member of a team united by, and accountable for, common goals.
• During the week we mostly work remotely but for those who prefer to be in the office we arranged coworking spaces in Warsaw (Business Link Astoria) and Cracow (Loftmill).
• Every Thursday our team members meet and enjoy working together at the Puro Hotels in Cracow, Warsaw, and Gdansk. There is always an opportunity to eat lunch together and grab some drinks after hours.
• Want to brush up on your English speaking skills? We offer subsidised language classes to all team members in Poland!
• We care about Voltologists’ health, so you will be provided with a Multisport card and medical insurance by Luxmed.
• We offer paid holidays (pssst...we will give you one day off extra for your birthday).
• In addition, once every two months on Friday we close down all comms at Volt - a digital detox. The whole business is officially ordered to take the day off!
• If you want to work in a company with a great, start-up atmosphere, you don’t have to look further :)
