About The Role
What if your deep expertise in cloud security could directly shape how large-scale organizations protect their most critical infrastructure? We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Architect to dig into complex cloud environments — uncovering architectural risks, IAM misconfigurations, and security design gaps before they become real-world vulnerabilities.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior security practitioners who know how to think like an attacker and communicate like a strategist.
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: Flexible, based on project scope
What You'll Do
- Assess cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP for security weaknesses and structural risks
- Review IAM configurations, permission models, network segmentation, and resource-level policies
- Identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and insecure design patterns
- Produce clear, structured reports summarizing architectural flaws with actionable mitigation guidance
- Validate alignment with established security frameworks, compliance requirements, and industry best practices
- Support recurring assessments of evolving cloud environments and deployment patterns
- Translate complex technical findings into structured documentation accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
