🏢 About Saronic

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

🎯 The Role

Security at Saronic is a force multiplier, not a blocker. We’re looking for a Security Engineer for our Cloud Security team to own the continuous security posture of the cloud that runs an autonomous fleet across both commercial AWS and AWS GovCloud and to build the guardrails that let every team ship fast with security baked in from the start. You’ll design the secure-by-default patterns teams reach for on their own, treating repeat findings as a signal to build a control rather than re-answer a ticket, and prioritizing by real attack path rather than alert count.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own continuous cloud security posture management (CSPM) across all cloud accounts, detect misconfigurations and drift, and drive remediation with the teams that own the resources.
• Map technical controls to both government and commercial frameworks (CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, FedRAMP/IL baselines) and keep controls evidence current and audit-ready.
• Run cloud vulnerability management at scale, find issues, prioritize them by real attack path and exposure rather than raw CVSS, and drive remediation to closure.
• Build reusable Terraform modules, Service Control Policies, permission boundaries, and policy-as-code that make the secure path the easy path, so whole classes of misconfiguration disappear before they reach production.
• Design least-privilege IAM across accounts and workloads, hunt privilege-escalation and cross-account trust paths, govern secrets management, and standardize encryption and key-management patterns.
• Build and tune cloud-native detections (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Config, Security Hub) and automated remediation, and support the Security Operations team as they investigate, triage, and remediate cloud-related cases across our infrastructure.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on cloud security, infrastructure security, or DevSecOps experience, or an equivalent combination of experience and demonstrated ability.
• Depth in AWS security services and architecture (IAM, Organizations/SCPs, CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS, VPC).
• Strong infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and policy-as-code experience.
• Hands-on cloud vulnerability management and CSPM tooling (e.g., Prowler), with a track record of driving cloud findings to remediation.
• A track record of building guardrails or patterns that other teams adopted without friction.
• Proficiency in scripting for security automation.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience in AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP, or IL4/IL5 environments.
• Azure and on-prem security experience a plus.
• Multi-account landing-zone and organizational security design.
• CSPM with automated remediation at scale.
• Container or Kubernetes security.
• IAM attack-path analysis and outcome-based metrics.
• Familiarity with NIST SP 800-171/800-53.
• Experience in defense, aerospace, robotics, or other high-assurance environments.
