About this role

HappyRobot seeks a Cloud Security Engineer to join the team in Madrid for a full-time, remote-friendly position. This role suits an infrastructure security professional with multi-cloud experience who wants to own cloud posture end-to-end.

Role Overview

The Cloud Security Engineer acts as the sole accountable owner for cloud security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This operational position focuses on keeping infrastructure hardened, driving remediation on schedule, and maintaining consistent security baselines. The work requires a platform mindset, building scalable guardrails rather than manually reviewing individual changes, and using tools like Wiz and Terraform to block misconfigurations before production.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the CNAPP end-to-end by triaging Wiz findings based on real-world exploitability and business impact.
Design and deploy policy-as-code gates in the Terraform pipeline using tools like OPA, Checkov, or tfsec to block misconfigurations at pull request and plan stages.
Define, document, and enforce consistent security baselines covering IAM, networking, encryption, and logging across multiple cloud environments.
Secure clusters, container images, and admission paths across EKS, AKS, and GKE by setting RBAC policies and scanning standards.
Lead remediation efforts across engineering teams, communicating risk clearly and tracking SLAs.
Expand the share of cloud infrastructure managed through Terraform with active security checks.

Requirements

Possess 4 to 6 years of professional experience in cloud, platform, or infrastructure security.
Demonstrate expert depth in at least one major cloud provider, including AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Bring hands-on CNAPP or CSPM experience, with Wiz strongly preferred.
Have production experience with Terraform and policy-as-code integration within CI/CD pipelines.
Understand Kubernetes security fundamentals such as RBAC, admission control, and image scanning.
Show scripting proficiency in Python or Go.
Maintain a B2 or higher level of professional working proficiency in English.

Nice to Have

Working experience across more than one cloud provider.
Relevant cross-cloud and Kubernetes certifications like CCSK, CKA, CKS, or AWS Security Specialty.
Background in EKS, AKS, and GKE hardening alongside container runtime security.
Advanced programming capabilities in TypeScript or Go beyond basic scripting.
Exposure to SIEM and detection tools such as RunReveal.
Familiarity with collecting cloud control evidence for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits.
