We are seeking an experienced Security Engineer to join our team and help secure Otter’s cloud infrastructure and the systems behind our AI-powered meeting products. In this role, you will design and implement security controls, improve detection and response, reduce cloud risk through automation, and partner closely with Dev Ops and Engineering to ensure secure-by-default cloud deployments.

This is a highly hands‑on role for someone who thrives in fast‑moving environments, can balance risk reduction with shipping velocity, and enjoys building security capabilities that scale.

• Design and implement secure cloud architectures and guardrails across our environments (network segmentation, encryption, key management, secure service patterns).
• Own IAM security: access controls, least‑privilege policies, privileged access workflows, and recurring access reviews.
• Build and scale cloud security infrastructure (logging, monitoring, alerting, vulnerability management, and DLP controls where appropriate).
• Harden CI/CD and infrastructure‑as‑code with security automation (secrets detection, dependency scanning, IaC scanning, policy‑as‑code).
• Monitor cloud security signals and investigate security alerts; continuously improve detection quality and reduce noise.
• Lead incident response for cloud security events and help mature playbooks, forensics readiness, and response processes.
• Conduct cloud security assessments and threat modeling for new architectures and high‑impact changes; partner with Engineering to drive remediation.
• Support compliance requirements and security controls aligned to enterprise needs (e.g., HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, GDPR; and security frameworks such as NIST / ISO 27001).

• 5+ years of experience in cloud security engineering or closely related security engineering roles.
• Strong knowledge of cloud security architectures, controls, and compliance requirements.
• Expertise securing public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), including multi‑cloud networking considerations and designing cloud‑agnostic patterns where needed.
• Solid understanding of container security, network security, and cloud security services.
• Experience building and operating core security capabilities such as logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, and (bonus) DLP.
• Strong understanding of security frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001.
• Excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills, plus strong communication and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.
