Manizh is staffing a principal-level security engineer for an active enterprise engagement on AWS.This is not a governance seat. You will threat-model live systems, build the detections, and close the distance between "we found it" and "it can't happen again" — in code, in the pipeline, in the account structure.What we are looking for:8+ years in application and cloud security, with a track record at principal or senior-lead level, still hands-onThreat modeling as a working practice (STRIDE, attack trees, abuse cases) across microservices, APIs, CI/CD and IAMDetection engineering on AWS: GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, custom detections — you know the difference between an alert and a signalPrevention built into delivery: IaC guardrails (Terraform / CloudFormation), SAST/DAST wired into pipelines, container and Kubernetes securityThe ability to walk an engineering team through why, not just whatNice to have: vulnerability management programs (Wiz, Qualys), CDN edge security (CloudFront, Cloudflare, Akamai — WAF, bot management, cache poisoning), AWS Security Specialty.Remote, contract, long-running. Based in the U.S. or nearshore (Canada, LATAM), working U.S. Eastern hours.Senior architecture. Lean teams. Outcomes — not utilization.
