Job Description:

Our client is hiring a Senior Product Security Cloud Engineer to support critical product security initiatives. The role is highly documentation-focused and centered on bringing an existing Azure-based system into full compliance with pre-market FDA standards. The ideal candidate is a hands-on cloud security professional who can independently assess current-state architecture, produce high-quality security documentation, and translate complex technical controls into clear narratives that can be understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a regulated environment.

This is an opportunity to work with a global, mission-driven organization whose technology directly impacts and saves lives. The client is known for exceptionally high engineering standards, strong investment in security and compliance, and a culture that values thoughtful, well-documented work. You'll be contributing to meaningful products in a mature, well-resourced environment while collaborating with a small, highly skilled product security team that values autonomy, clarity, and quality over bureaucracy.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Develop formal threat models and security analyses to support FDA pre-market documentation
  
  

• Execute vulnerability scanning and risk-based security assessments, translating results into clear narratives for technical and non-technical stakeholders
  
  

• Generate architecture reviews, threat models, and security risk assessments
  
  

• Translate technical security implementations into clear, written narratives
  
  

• Compare current-state systems to full compliance requirements and document gaps
  
  

• Create FMEAs and risk assessments in Excel
  
  

• Produce and modify architecture diagrams highlighting security controls and trust boundaries
  
  

• Document data integrity controls ensuring data originates from known sources and is not tampered with
  
  

• Define service-to-service interactions across device endpoints and cloud endpoints
  
  

• Support IoT-to-cloud security designs within Azure environments
  
  

• Contribute to QMS and product security documentation
  
  

Requirements:

• Must-Haves:
  
  

  • 5 years of hands-on Azure cloud security experience
    
    

  • Experience securing IoT-to-cloud architectures
    
    

  • Strong background working in regulated environments
    
    

  • Proven experience generating FMEAs and security risk assessments (Excel-based)
    
    

  • Ability to create and modify architecture diagrams (Visio, Lucid)
    
    

  • Strong technical writing skills using Microsoft Word
    
    

  • Knowledge of PKI and cryptographic controls (encryption at rest and in transit)
    
    

  • Experience with authentication mechanisms, token exchange, and identity controls
    
    

  • Familiarity with Azure Key Vault, Azure Firewalls, and patching/update strategies
    
    

• Nice-to-Haves:
  
  

  • Medical device or healthcare product security experience
    
    

  • FDA-regulated product background
    
    

  • Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) experience
