Cloud Security Engineer

HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers dont just communicate through voice and email - they make decisions take action and run operations autonomously across entire enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z Base10 Prysm Capital and Eurazeo with over $150M raised we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.

Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics built our own voice stack models and orchestration layer from the ground up and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy. Learn more about our vision in our manifesto.

We are looking for a Cloud Security Engineer to join our team. You will be the single accountable owner for cloud security posture across AWS Azure and GCP bringing the technical depth and operational discipline to keep our infrastructure hardened our findings remediated on SLA and our security baseline consistent across every environment we run.

This is not a governance or advisory role. Your deepest strength is the ability to own outcomes end-to-end: triaging Wiz findings by real-world exploitability shipping policy-as-code gates that catch misconfigurations before they hit production and getting remediation done by engineering teams you dont manage. That said you operate with a platform mindset building guardrails that scale rather than manually reviewing every change.

What Youll Do

• Cloud Posture Management Own the CNAPP end-to-end. Triage Wiz findings by exploitability and business impact drive remediation across engineering teams to SLA and keep the backlog from accumulating. Be the person who actually gets findings closed not just reported.

• IaC Security Design and ship policy-as-code gates in the Terraform pipeline that block misconfigurations at PR and plan time before they reach production. Use OPA/Rego Checkov tfsec or equivalent and calibrate gates to stop bad patterns without creating friction that causes teams to route around them.

• Multi-Cloud Baseline Define document and enforce a consistent security baseline across AWS Azure and GCP covering IAM networking KMS/encryption and logging. Own the documentation that supports enterprise customer security reviews and audit evidence requests.

• Kubernetes & Container Security Harden clusters images and admission paths across EKS AKS and GKE. Set and enforce RBAC policies admission controls and image scanning standards.

• Remediation Leadership Drive fixes through engineering teams you dont have direct authority over. Track SLAs communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders and escalate when needed without creating noise.

• Shift-Left Guardrails Grow the share of cloud infrastructure managed via Terraform with active security checks quarter over quarter. Trend new critical misconfigurations reaching production to zero.

Must Have

• 46 years in cloud security or platform/infrastructure security.

• Expert depth in at least one major cloud provider (AWS Azure or GCP): IAM networking KMS/encryption and logging.

• Hands-on experience with a CNAPP/CSPM Wiz strongly preferred including triage prioritization and driving remediation with engineering teams.

• Terraform in production plus policy-as-code experience (OPA/Rego Checkov tfsec or similar) integrated in CI/CD.

• Kubernetes security fundamentals: RBAC admission control and image scanning.

• Scripting proficiency in Python or Go.

• English B2 (professional working proficiency).

Nice to Have

• Working experience across 2 cloud providers we deploy on AWS Azure and GCP.

• Cross-cloud and Kubernetes certifications: CCSK CKA CKS AWS Security Specialty or equivalent.

• EKS/AKS/GKE hardening and container runtime security experience.

• TypeScript or Go beyond scripting.

• SIEM/detection exposure we run RunReveal.

• SOC 2 / ISO 27001 cloud control evidence experience.

• Join a world-class team of engineers and builders.

• Backed by top investors including a16z Y Combinator Base10 Prysm Capital and Eurazeo.

• Have ownership and autonomy of projects and are encouraged to ship.

• Comprehensive Benefits including healthcare dental vision coverage.

• Competitive salary equity in a high-growth startup.
