Google Cloud Security Engineer

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how to secure it. As a cloud security architect, you know how to assess and implement requirements that ensure the safety of information systems and protect them against intentional or inadvertent access or destruction. What if you could use your advanced cloud security skills to deliver mission critical data to explore Earth system data sources through the use and creation of scientific processes and technologies to uncover and communicate climate intelligence insights? We need you to guide the development of cloud-based solutions to some of the federal climate community’s toughest challenges. As a cloud security architect on our team, you’ll design a secure, cloud-based text analytics platform to support mission critical operations. You’ll guide your team as they research the current environment and recommend tools and capabilities from various on premise, cloud based, and hybrid resources.

You’ll share expertise with your team through leadership and mentoring, as they help the customer overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with migration teams to develop and re-platform existing capabilities and build new ones throughout the cloud migration process. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with clients to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies, as you look for ways to improve your customer’s environment using current cloud capabilities. You’ll be able to sharpen your skills in automation, cloud-based security, native cloud services, and more, while developing critical systems and mentoring tomorrow’s cloud security experts. Help us transform and secure climate data with cloud technology.
