AWS Cloud Compliance Engineer, Senior

AWS Cloud Compliance Engineer, Senior

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a senior Cloud Compliance Engineer with a strong technical background to ensure that our cloud-based systems meet stringent SOC 1 SSAE 18 audit control objectives and compliance requirements. In this role, you will act as the single technical point of contact for implementing and validating security controls in an AWS environment, integrating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools such as Splunk with cloud services, and verifying that all technical controls operate effectively to support a successful SOC 1 audit. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on control implementation and assurance. You will work closely with security, DevOps, and compliance teams to maintain an audit-ready posture through continuous monitoring, centralized logging, and robust cloud configuration management.

This role is crucial in bridging the gap between DevOps and governance, ensuring that our technical cloud implementations meet audit and compliance standards while supporting our mission-critical operations. You will have the opportunity to shape how our organization implements cloud security controls and to work on cutting-edge AWS technologies in a regulated, impactful environment. Success in this position means our systems remain secure, reliable, and audit-ready, instilling confidence in our stakeholders and auditors alike.

Join us. The world can't wait.

• Experience working with or for U.S. Department of Defense or other federal agencies
