We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity - inside and outside our organization.

If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can't wait to meet you. Braze is a modern, cloud-first SaaS company running entirely on cloud-native infrastructure - large-scale, distributed systems spanning AWS, GCP, and self-managed Kubernetes, backed by self-managed data stores such as MongoDB. We're looking for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer II to join our Security Engineering function as a senior individual contributor and technical leader for cloud security. This is a step up from our Senior Cloud Security Engineer role.

You can take an ambiguous, open-ended cloud security problem, define the objective yourself, and deliver a solution that becomes the way Braze does it going forward. You translate complex cloud attack paths, IAM misconfigurations, and multi-step threat scenarios into guidance engineers adopt, and you balance strong controls with operational reality. You raise the people around you - through mentorship, review, and the standards you set - and you stay current with the cloud security landscape, tools, and threats. Above all, you can walk someone through the messy middle - what you tried, what broke, and what you'd do differently. THE FEW HARD PREREQUISITES: These are the genuinely pass/fail requirements: Several years owning cloud security in production - on-call for it, not adjacent to it Hands-on, not theoretical: AWS as primary cloud, working GCP, self-managed Kubernetes You read and write code (Python, TF) For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $149,000 and $235,000/year with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $166,000 and $261,000/year (including bonus or commission).

Preferred Qualifications • Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), Certified Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC), or comparable cloud or assessment certification. • Experience supporting federal cybersecurity programs and conducting assessments, audits, or control implementation reviews in accordance with NIST Special Publications. • Experience assessing cloud service offerings that rely on FedRAMP-authorized services and documenting control inheritance and customer responsibility requirements. • DoD 8570/8140 IAM Level II eligibility or an equivalent qualification, when required by the customer environment. • Experience evaluating privacy and data protection considerations as part of security assessments. Success in this role: The successful assessor is technically credible, independent, and evidence-driven. They know when the data supports a finding, when additional validation is needed, and when a requirement must be interpreted in light of architecture, mission use, and actual exposure. They produce assessment results that are clear, consistent, defensible, and actionable. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.

You raise the people around you - through mentorship, review, and the standards you set - and you stay current with the cloud security landscape, tools, and threats. Above all, you can walk someone through the messy middle - what you tried, what broke, and what you'd do differently.

If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can't wait to meet you. Braze is a modern, cloud-first SaaS company running entirely on cloud-native infrastructure - large-scale, distributed systems spanning AWS, GCP, and self-managed Kubernetes, backed by self-managed data stores such as MongoDB. We're looking for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer II to join our Security Engineering function as a senior individual contributor and technical leader for cloud security. This is a step up from our Senior Cloud Security Engineer role. Where a Senior engineer executes and improves our cloud security controls, a Senior Cloud Security Engineer II sets the technical direction: you define the standards and reference patterns other engineers build on, lead cross-team security initiatives end to end, take on the ambiguous problems that don't yet have a playbook (and write the playbook), and raise the bar for the whole team through mentorship and review. You'll go especially deep across three areas - secure architecture and threat modeling, detection engineering and incident response, and Kubernetes and platform security - and you'll shape how Braze does cloud security across Engineering. This is a pure IC role; you lead through technical depth and influence rather than direct people management. WHAT YOU'LL DO Set the technical direction (leadership & standards): Define the cloud security standards, guardrails, and reference architectures that Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering build on - turning point-in-time fixes into durable, org-wide patterns Set your own objectives and roadmap for high-impact cloud security work, in partnership with Security Engineering leadership, and drive it to measurable outcomes Lead cross-functional security initiatives end to end - scope, timeline, stakeholders, and delivery - guiding technical debates to a decision and owning the result Mentor and uplevel other security and platform engineers through pairing, design review, and feedback; act as a force multiplier and the go-to technical resource for cloud security Represent cloud security in architecture and design forums, translating complex attack paths and risk into clear, actionable guidance engineers will actually adopt Secure architecture & threat modeling: Own threat modeling as a discipline for new cloud technologies, services, and patterns adopted across Engineering - making it a repeatable, scalable practice rather than a one-off exercise Partner with Infrastructure, SRE, and Product Engineering to design secure-by-default cloud architectures and build practical, scalable controls across AWS, GCP, and self-managed systems Drive control-plane and IAM security strategy across AWS and GCP, including relationships with external identity providers, RBAC models, and least privilege at scale Continually assess posture, surface systemic and emerging risk, and set the priorities that reduce it Detection engineering, incident response & automation: Advance our detection strategy: design high-signal detections and SIEM rules (with our SIEM Management function) and own detection coverage for cloud threats end to end Serve as a senior incident responder and cloud-forensics lead for cloud and run-time security investigations across AWS and GCP - and codify what you learn into standard IR playbooks and preventative controls Own and optimize security tooling such as CrowdStrike (EDR/CSPM/IR), Tenable, and native cloud security services, and lead our vulnerability management workflow - scanning, triage, prioritization, and remediation - for cloud assets Kubernetes & platform security: Own the security of our self-managed Kubernetes environments - control plane, nodes, workload isolation, admission control, run-time security, and the CI/CD supply chain feeding them Set the standards for Infrastructure-as-Code and pipeline security (Terraform preferred): design and harden IaC and CI/CD automation so security is built into how we ship Establish best practices for patch management, base-image hardening, and version management across containerized and VM-based environments Lead the security of large-scale, distributed systems and self-managed data stores (e.g., MongoDB), accounting for their real-world operational and security implications WHO YOU ARE You are a senior individual contributor who leads through technical depth and influence rather than authority. You can take an ambiguous, open-ended cloud security problem, define the objective yourself, and deliver a solution that becomes the way Braze does it going forward. You translate complex cloud attack paths, IAM misconfigurations, and multi-step threat scenarios into guidance engineers adopt, and you balance strong controls with operational reality. You raise the people around you - through mentorship, review, and the standards you set - and you stay current with the cloud security landscape, tools, and threats. Above all, you can walk someone through the messy middle - what you tried, what broke, and what you'd do differently. THE FEW HARD PREREQUISITES: These are the genuinely pass/fail requirements: Several years owning cloud security in production - on-call for it, not adjacent to it Hands-on, not theoretical: AWS as primary cloud, working GCP, self-managed Kubernetes You read and write code (Python, TF) For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $149,000 and $235,000/year with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $166,000 and $261,000/year (including bonus or commission).

Senior Cloud Security Assessor
Spry Methods Washington, Washington DC
Job Description Job Description Experienced assessor sought to lead rigorous, evidence-based security assessments of cloud and hybrid systems supporting federal missions. Who we are looking for: Spry Methods is seeking an experienced Senior Cloud Security Assessor to join our team in the Washington, DC area. The successful candidate will bring extensive hands-on experience conducting independent security control assessments of cloud and hybrid systems, with particular depth in federal cloud environments. This role requires sound professional judgment, strong analytical skills, and a practical, common-sense approach to applying security requirements to system data, technical evidence, mission context, and actual risk. Key Responsibilities: • Lead full-cycle Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) activities for cloud, hybrid, and enterprise systems as an independent assessor. • Assess Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments, including the implementation and operating effectiveness of administrative, operational, and technical security controls. • Retrieve and review FedRAMP authorization packages and supporting documentation, then analyze the package for applicability, control inheritance, residual risk, gaps, and customer responsibilities. • Conduct detailed analysis of assessment artifacts, including system security plans, policies, procedures, architecture and data-flow diagrams, inventories, configurations, logs, scan results, test outputs, and other supporting evidence. • Develop Security Assessment Plans (SAPs), Security Assessment Reports (SARs), Risk Assessment Reports (RARs), Required Evidence Lists, and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms). • Perform network, system, application, and NIST security control testing from administrative, operational, and technical perspectives. • Analyze vulnerability scan results, interpret risk, and use manual validation and corroborating evidence to distinguish actionable findings from false positives or unsupported conclusions. • Apply security requirements using practical judgment and data context rather than relying solely on checklist compliance. Evaluate whether evidence is relevant, reliable, sufficient, and representative of the assessed environment. • Clearly communicate findings, risk, root cause, and feasible mitigation options to technical teams, system owners, executives, and other assessment stakeholders. • Coordinate evidence requests, interviews, test activities, and assessment schedules with customer personnel and Information Systems Security Analysts. • Support security assessment program operations and contribute to consistent assessment methods, quality reviews, and defensible reporting. Minimum Qualifications • Active Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification is required. • At least eight years of demonstrated, hands-on experience conducting security control assessments, including substantial experience serving as an independent assessor for cloud and hybrid systems. • Extensive experience conducting independent security assessments of federal systems hosted in Microsoft Azure and AWS environments, including evaluation of security controls, architecture, inherited controls, customer-configured controls, and cloud-specific risks. • Demonstrated experience retrieving, navigating, and analyzing FedRAMP authorization packages and associated security artifacts. • Strong knowledge of federal Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes and NIST security control assessment practices. • Ability to analyze large volumes of technical and governance evidence, connect information across artifacts, identify inconsistencies, and reach clear, supportable conclusions. • Strong understanding of IT security requirements, technical countermeasures, vulnerability management, risk management, contingency planning, secure data communications, and system security architecture. • Excellent technical writing and stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to explain risk and recommended mitigation in clear, decision-oriented language. • Bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, computer science, or a related field, or eight additional years of relevant specialized experience. • Experience using CSAM or a comparable governance, risk, and compliance platform. Preferred Qualifications • Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), Certified Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC), or comparable cloud or assessment certification. • Experience supporting federal cybersecurity programs and conducting assessments, audits, or control implementation reviews in accordance with NIST Special Publications. • Experience assessing cloud service offerings that rely on FedRAMP-authorized services and documenting control inheritance and customer responsibility requirements. • DoD 8570/8140 IAM Level II eligibility or an equivalent qualification, when required by the customer environment. • Experience evaluating privacy and data protection considerations as part of security assessments. Success in this role: The successful assessor is technically credible, independent, and evidence-driven. They know when the data supports a finding, when additional validation is needed, and when a requirement must be interpreted in light of architecture, mission use, and actual exposure. They produce assessment results that are clear, consistent, defensible, and actionable. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
