Cloud​/DevOps Security Engineer

WHO WE ARE

We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things. The company's first tech-based solution was developed in 1997 to optimize options trading, and over the past two decades, the same formula has been used across a range of industries, asset classes, and business stages to consistently deliver superior results. Today, PEAK6 seeks transformational opportunities to provide capital and strategic support to entrepreneurs and forward-thinking businesses.

PEAK6's core brands include PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, FOCUS, We Insure, Evil Geniuses, Poker Power, Zogo, and Bruce Markets.

Your goal is simple and ambitious: make cloud and platform security safe by default. You'll deploy and operate CSPM across GCP and AWS, route and close posture gaps through Jira with tuned suppress ions, and give engineering teams paved-road guardrails (reusable modules, policy checks) that keep delivery fast and secure.

• Run CSPM across orgs/accounts: connect GCP Security Command Center and AWS Security Hub, map findings to owners/SLAs in Jira, and reduce noise with scoped suppress ions.
• Enforce organization policies: no public buckets, restricted legacy OAuth scopes, domain restrictions, baseline logging/encryption, and CMEK where required.
• Build the paved road: deliver reusable Terraform modules/blueprints with baked-in controls; add pre-commit and CI/CD policy checks that prevent risky changes from shipping.
• Support secure egress & posture gates: partner with the Senior Engineer on Netskope SD-WAN to define app-aware egress and posture-based access for sensitive apps (later in 2026).
• Elevate container/image hygiene: introduce basic image signing/scanning, minimal bases, and sane secrets handling patterns in CI/CD.
• Stop certificate outages: maintain inventory, alerts, and a renewal workflow (ACME where feasible).
• Identity intersections: verify admin MFA enforcement, break-glass testing cadence, and JML hooks that impact cloud access.

• Experience:
  
  4-7 years in cloud/platform security with GCP and/or AWS at multi-account/organization scope; proven CSPM operations and Jira-routed closure with SLAs.

• Hands-on CSPM experience (SCC/Sec Hub or similar) at multi-account/multi-org scope, plus routing and closure in Jira with SLAs.
• IaC fluency (Terraform) and a track record of reusable, secure modules and policy-as-code checks in pipelines.
• Working knowledge of GCP/AWS org policies/controls; ability to balance developer velocity with strong defaults.
• Practical CI/CD exposure (you secure it; you don't have to build/own the pipelines). Clear communication, documentation, and a habit of proving posture with simple scorecards.
• Good English language communication skills

• GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer, AWS Security Specialty, Hashi Corp Terraform Associate, CKA/CKS; GIAC GCSA/GC cloud tracks.

• CSPM is connected and useful: findings reach the right owners with actionable tickets and less noise over time.
• Core org policies are enforced, and posture improvements are visible and sustained.
• Paved-road guardrails are adopted by engineers and reduce manual security rework.
• Certificate renewals are predictable, with no surprise expirations.
