About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of cloud architecture and security design could directly protect large-scale environments from the threats most teams never even see coming? We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Architect to assess cloud infrastructures, identify architectural risk, and deliver the kind of structured, expert guidance that engineering teams actually act on.
About The Role
What if your deep knowledge of cloud architecture and security design could directly protect large-scale environments from the threats most teams never even see coming? We're looking for a Principal Cloud Security Architect to assess cloud infrastructures, identify architectural risk, and deliver the kind of structured, expert guidance that engineering teams actually act on.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for senior security professionals who thrive working independently and thinking at scale.
What You'll Do
- Assess cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP for security gaps, misconfigurations, and long-term design flaws
- Review IAM configurations, network segmentation, and resource policies for privilege risks and insecure patterns
- Identify architectural weaknesses and document findings in clear, structured formats
- Provide actionable mitigation guidance that balances depth with practical feasibility
- Validate cloud deployments against established security frameworks and industry best practices
- Support recurring assessments of evolving cloud environments and deployment patterns
Who You Are
- Deep, hands-on experience in cloud security architecture across major cloud platforms
- Strong command of IAM models, network design principles, and cloud service security models
- Ability to translate complex architectural risk into clear, structured documentation and recommendations
- Sharp eye for misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and systemic security anti-patterns
Nice To Have
- Experience with multi-cloud environments, zero-trust architecture, or high-compliance regulated industries
- Familiarity with frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2, or FedRAMP
- Background in cloud security tooling, CSPM platforms, or infrastructure-as-code security review
Why Join Us
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule from anywhere
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, high-impact technical work
- Engage with complex, large-scale cloud environments that genuinely challenge your expertise
- Potential for ongoing engagements and contract extension as new assessments are scoped
- Work that directly influences security posture at scale — not just reports that gather dust
