Cisco Cloud Security is a leading provider of network security services, enabling the world to connect to the Internet with confidence on any device, anywhere, anytime. We build and operate highly available, distributed cloud-delivered security solutions critical to the success of the next wave of innovation in the security industry.

We are seeking a passionate engineer to help us migrate, launch, and operate the next generation of the entire Umbrella cloud security (Umbrella) platform in an AWS GovCloud-native environment, so we can effectively expand our access to the public sector market. Our current focus is on growing the platform's FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) authorization. If you're not familiar with FedRAMP, it's a US government security certification with exceedingly high standards that requires everything you've ever wanted in a solid infrastructure - precision transformation, consistent backups, centralized & high-performance logging, and alerting, all built with every effective security capability you've ever heard of.

• Assist and ensure engineering teams follow various Cisco- and industry-specific compliance frameworks such as SOC-2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP / NIST SP 800-53.
• Find opportunities for automation, partner with the engineering and security team on implementing automation
• Mentor engineering teams and help them on their journey to DevSecOps
• Provide thought leadership and domain expertise within Cloud Security to facilitate a culture of security and privacy.
• Collaborate with peer groups within the larger security team on Trust & Compliance, Security Operations, Risk Management, Security Engineering, and Education activities.
