POSITION SUMMARY

Deloitte Global is the engine of the Deloitte network. Our professionals reach across disciplines and borders to develop and lead global initiatives. We deliver strategic programs and services that unite our organization.

Work you'll do

Are you energized by building at the intersection of cloud and security engineering? Our current cloud security tooling is a genuinely wide, still-evolving mix — cloud-native platforms, CNAPP tooling, and classic SIEM — with real room to bring more coherence to it, and a real appetite to bring AI into how we build, detect, and analyze.

If designing the telemetry, data, and infrastructure that a global organization depends on to detect and respond to threats across a multi-cloud environment sounds like a good problem to work on, read on to learn about an opportunity on the Cloud Defensive Operations team within Deloitte's Global Cloud Security (GCS) organization.

As a Cloud Defense Security Engineer, you'll design, build, and directly manage the cloud security telemetry, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure that underpins how Deloitte's global cloud platform — used by Member Firms worldwide — is defended. GCS builds the platform-level capabilities that our Cyber Defense team relies on to see, understand, and respond to what's happening across the cloud — so your work has direct, foundational impact on Cyber, without the SOC or on-call rotation that usually comes with it.

This role is anchored in strong, hands-on technical execution across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP. The ability to collaborate across teams and contribute to strategy matters too, but it's something we'll help you build over time rather than expect on day one.

This role reports to the Cloud Defensive Operations Manager.

WHERE YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT:

* Cloud detection and response platform. Contribute to an internal platform GCS builds to support Cyber Defense's cloud investigation, triage, and response.

* Unified threat visibility. Help bring cloud-native alerts, internal configuration guardrails, and our cloud-native application protection (CNAPP) service into a more unified view, in a landscape that's genuinely still evolving.

* AI-infused security engineering. Explore how AI can change how we build, detect, and analyze — from AI-assisted engineering to AI-driven correlation across data sources.

QUALIFICATIONS

REQUIRED:

* BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE, PLUS 5+ YEARS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, CLOUD ENGINEERING, OR DATA ENGINEERING

* HANDS-ON, MULTI-CLOUD EXPERIENCE (AWS, AZURE, AND/OR GCP), INCLUDING DIRECTLY MANAGING CLOUD SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS LOGGING AND ALERTING

* PROGRAMMING AND INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE EXPERIENCE (E.G., PYTHON, TERRAFORM, OR SIMILAR)

* SOME EXPERIENCE WITH DATA MODELING OR CORRELATING DATA ACROSS SYSTEMS, AND COMMUNICATING WITH STAKEHOLDERS OUTSIDE YOUR IMMEDIATE TEAM — DEPTH ISN'T REQUIRED, BUT THIS SHOULDN'T BE UNCHARTED TERRITORY

* MUST BE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT EMPLOYER SPONSORSHIP, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE

DESIRED SKILLS / CERTIFICATIONS:

* CLOUD-NATIVE TELEMETRY & AUTOMATION: BROADER AUTOMATION, SCRIPTING, OR IAC EXPERIENCE (TERRAFORM, BICEP, PULUMI); FAMILIARITY WITH UNIFIED DATA PLATFORMS, DATA MODELING, DATA SCIENCE, OR REPORTING/BI TOOLS SUCH AS POWER BI

* DETECTION & SIEM PLATFORMS: HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH MAJOR SIEM OR LOG-ANALYTICS PLATFORMS — SPLUNK, MICROSOFT SENTINEL, OR GOOGLE SECOPS/CHRONICLE — AND QUERY AUTHORING IN KQL, SPL, OR SIMILAR CORRELATION LANGUAGES

* CNAPP & POSTURE TOOLING: EXPERIENCE WITH MAJOR CLOUD-NATIVE SECURITY PLATFORMS OR CNAPP TOOLING SUCH AS WIZ, PRISMA CLOUD, MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR CLOUD, OR ORCA SECURITY.

* CONTAINER & WORKLOAD SECURITY: EXPOSURE TO KUBERNETES/DOCKER SECURITY, AND AWARENESS OF FRAMEWORKS LIKE MITRE ATT&CK FOR CLOUD.

* APPLIED AI: HANDS-ON USE OF AI TOOLS FOR BUILDING, ANALYZING, OR CORRELATING SECURITY DATA

* RELEVANT CERTIFICATIONS: AWS CERTIFIED SECURITY – SPECIALTY, MICROSOFT CERTIFIED: AZURE SECURITY ENGINEER ASSOCIATE (AZ-500), GOOGLE CLOUD PROFESSIONAL CLOUD SECURITY ENGINEER, CCSP, GIAC GCSA/GCDA, OR CERTIFIED KUBERNETES SECURITY SPECIALIST (CKS)

CAUTION AGAINST FRAUDULENT JOB OFFERS!

We have been informed of instances where jobseekers are led to believe of fictitious job opportunities with Deloitte US (“Deloitte”). In one or more such cases, false promises of actual or potential selection, or initiation or completion of the recruitment formalities appear to have been or are being made. Some jobseekers appear to have been asked to pay money to specified bank accounts of individuals or entities as a condition of their selection for a ‘job’ with Deloitte.

These individuals or entities are in no way connected with Deloitte and do not represent or otherwise act on behalf of Deloitte.

We would like to clarify that:

* At Deloitte, ethics and integrity are fundamental and not negotiable.

* We are against corruption and neither offer bribes nor accept them, nor induce or permit any other party to make or receive bribes on our behalf.

* We have not authorized any party or person to collect any money from jobseekers in any form whatsoever for promises of getting jobs in Deloitte.

* We consider candidates on merit and that we provide an equal opportunity to eligible applicants.

* No one other than designated Deloitte personnel (e.g., a Deloitte recruiter or Deloitte hiring partner) is permitted to extend any job offer from Deloitte.

Anyone who at any time has made or makes any payment to any party in exchange for promises of job or selection for a job with Deloitte or any matter related to this (including those for ‘registration’, ‘verification’ or ‘security deposit’) or otherwise engages with any such person who has made or makes fraudulent promises or offers, does so (or has done so) entirely at their own risk. Deloitte takes no responsibility or liability for any such unauthorized or fraudulent actions or engagements.

We encourage jobseekers to exercise caution.
