About this opportunity
Toyota Automated Logistics lists this Cloud Security Engineer opportunity in louisville, Kentucky. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
The Senior Cloud Security & Identity Engineer (SecOps) is a senior individual contributor responsible for defining, enforcing, and monitoring cloud security and identity guardrails to ensure cloud workloads are secure, compliant, resilient, and ready for customer usage.
Operating within the Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) and in close partnership with Software Excellence & Enablement (SEE), this role builds security into the delivery system through consistent baselines, identity patterns, policy‑as‑code, and evidence‑based verification. The SecOps Engineer supports Release Management and Operations by providing clear security readiness signals, continuous monitoring, and actionable insights.
This role defines guardrails and validates outcomes—it does not replace application ownership or operations responsibility. Success is measured by security posture, reduced risk, readiness without exception, and operational credibility, not by the volume of findings.
Job Functions
Define, maintain, and evolve cloud security baselines across both Azure and On‑Prem environments.
Design and enforce secure workload identity and access patterns using least privilege principles.
Implement and maintain policy‑as‑code guardrails using Azure Policy and Infrastructure‑as‑Code pipelines.
Monitor cloud security posture and configure alerts using Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and Log Analytics.
Partner with Engineering and Operations to remediate vulnerabilities in a timely and sustainable manner.
Support Release Readiness, Operational Readiness, and Cloud Activation through objective security evidence.
Validate backup, restore, and disaster recovery results as part of operational readiness.
Support security incident triage, investigation, and root‑cause analysis for cloud workloads.
Reduce noise by tuning alerts and focusing on high‑signal security indicators.
Provide clear, practical guidance to engineering teams that enables secure delivery without friction.
Monitor drift from security standards and drive remediation with clear owners and timelines.
Provide transparent, factual summaries of cloud security posture, trends, and risks to leadership.
Build a culture of security awareness and mentor developers and leaders in the principles of software security.
