Cloud Security Engineer (Remote) at Who Gives a Crap

A bit about the role

We’re evolving. Historically, we’ve leaned on external partners to care for our security stack, but we’ve realized that to truly flourish, we need to bring that brilliance home. We aren't a traditional software company, so we don't need overly complex infrastructure; instead, we’re looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to help us refine our environment—pruning back the excess to curate a security space that is purpose-led, repeatable, and reliable.

Reporting to our Cyber Security Lead, Mitch, you’ll be the technical heartbeat of our security systems across cloud, identity, devices, and SaaS. This isn’t a passive "watch the dashboard" role; it’s a foundational, creative position. You’ll translate security intent into a smooth operational reality, ensuring our controls work beautifully at scale with clarity and predictability. You’ll have the freedom to help design, shape, and leave a lasting legacy on how this team operates for years to come.

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

• Creating Sustainable Patterns: You reviewed and evolved our Infrastructure-as-Code strategy, ensuring our security controls are consistently and elegantly applied through code.
• Harmonizing Systems: You reviewed our device management platforms to ensure they integrate seamlessly with our identity and data protection guardrails.
• Restoring Calm: Instead of just reacting to alerts, you tuned a detection process to resolve a recurring root cause, making our system hygiene measurably healthier.
• Empowering the Team: You authored a set of clear, supportive runbooks that allowed our Systems Operations Engineers to execute security tasks confidently and independently.
• Collaborative Design: You partnered with Jeff (our Senior Cloud Engineer) to bridge the gap between security intent and cloud platform architecture.

Let’s talk about you

You’re a creator, not just a monitor
You may have a background in Security Operations (SOC) or Engineering, but you’ve reached a point where you’re looking for more than just ticket response. You’re the type of person who sees a noisy alert and feels the spark to dive in and resolve the root cause permanently. You are "tool-agnostic" and value technical intent and system maturity over a list of certifications.

You thrive when shaping the "Gray Space"
You enjoy the freedom of taking the lead on designing technical guardrails in a modern, cloud-first environment. You’re looking for a "high-leverage" role where your documentation and automation enable an entire team to move forward with confidence and security.

You’re a community builder and force multiplier
You believe that security is only as strong as the knowledge shared with the team. You take pride in externalizing your expertise through clear standards, creating systems and playbooks so reliable that they empower others to succeed without needing your direct intervention.

You give a crap
Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!
