Job Description
Our Security team is growing and we have an immediate opening for a Cloud Security Engineer with a strong focus on cloud-native security architecture and design. In this role, you will lead the effort to design, build, and secure our cloud infrastructure, establish robust cloud architecture security standards, and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security controls directly across our cloud environments. Reporting to the Director of IT and IS, this role will be a multi-faceted function that assists in maintaining cloud posture, executing core cloud security functions, and acting as a technical expert in architecting secure, scalable cloud systems. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual that is great at task and time management, and is excited to build cloud security directly into our infrastructure from the ground up.
What would I be doing?
As a key member of the Security team, you will collaborate closely with engineering and security leadership to design, build, and maintain secure cloud architecture. You will drive cloud-native security initiatives by embedding infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security controls, automated compliance scanning, and cloud configuration hardening across all environments, serving as a cross-functional partner to ensure robust security throughout our cloud ecosystem.
On any given day you could be:
- Monitor and analyze cloud-specific threat landscapes; proactively identify and mitigate risks related to public cloud service misconfigurations.
- Maintain cloud security posture by monitoring and triaging alerts from CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) and cloud-native security tools; conduct forensic investigations.
- Work in a cross function capacity with our DevOps team to automate security monitoring and alerting solutions directly into the CI/CD pipeline using Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Integrate automated vulnerability scanning and security testing directly into the development lifecycle to ensure continuous security feedback for engineering teams.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams for vulnerability remediation efforts.
- Design and audit cloud-native security controls to ensure continuous compliance and adherence to regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC).
- Proactively monitor and evaluate security configurations of systems and applications for continuous improvement and compliance.
- Participate in the full security incident response lifecycle, including containment, eradication, and recovery.
- Partner with software engineering teams to provide security design consultation, embedding secure-by-design principles into cloud architecture and application features.
Qualifications
- 5 to 8+ years of dedicated Security Engineering experience with a strong focus on AWS security, cloud-native architecture, and DevSecOps
- Demonstrated experience building and architecting security infrastructure from the ground up, serving as the primary architect and functional owner of the security domain
- Proven track record implementing cloud-native security tooling (e.g., CSPM, CWPP) and embedding automated security controls into CI/CD deployment pipelines
- Proficiency in Python, Terraform, and Containerization strategies such as Kubernetes and Docker
- Strong understanding of SaaS risk management and hardening processes as well as experience in DLP implementations and management
- Previous experience working within a startup environment, with excellent verbal and written communication skills to address security concerns across internal stakeholders

- CISSP, CNAPP, or related certifications
- Experience in development or implementation of new tooling using the latest available resources or technologies
- Experience implementation or use of CSPM tools such as Wiz, Orca, or AWS security tools suite
- Experience with implementation and tuning of SIEM and event management tools
- Experience in the digital healthcare industry
The base salary range for this role varies by location and is aligned to market benchmarks.
- Candidates located in higher-cost labor markets, including California, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Washington, DC represent the middle to high end of the range, while candidates located in all other U.S. locations represent the low to middle end of the range.
- Final compensation is determined based on location, experience, skills, and internal equity.
This role is eligible for a 10% target annual bonus, resulting in the following base salary and Total Target Compensation (TTC) ranges:
- Base Salary: $120,000 - $135,000

Cloud Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a cloud engineer in Colorado?
Cloud engineering in Colorado does not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and vendor credentials. Most Colorado employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, combined with hands-on experience in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Earning an associate-level cloud certification from one of those providers significantly strengthens an application, and Colorado's large defense and aerospace employers often add a security clearance requirement on top.
How much do cloud engineers make in Colorado?
Cloud engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $139,580 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,140 for the lowest 10% to over $170,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire cloud engineers in Colorado?
Colorado cloud engineer roles are posted by Amazon Web Services, Amazon, and SAIC and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's concentration of aerospace, defense, and telecom firms means a notable share of openings come from government contractors and large enterprise technology organizations with long-term operations in the Denver and Colorado Springs corridors.
Which Colorado cities have the most cloud engineer jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Golden account for the largest share of cloud engineer openings in Colorado. Denver drives the most volume as the state's primary enterprise technology hub, while Colorado Springs draws heavily from defense contractors and U.S. military installations that rely on cloud infrastructure, and Boulder's dense concentration of technology startups and research institutions sustains steady demand outside those two larger markets.
Are there remote cloud engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 40% of cloud engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how naturally the work translates to distributed environments. Infrastructure provisioning, platform engineering, and DevOps automation are the sub-areas most frequently offered as fully remote, though roles requiring access to classified systems or sensitive government networks typically remain on-site.
How can I get hired as a cloud engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is earning an associate-level AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud certification while building a portfolio of personal or open-source cloud projects. Colorado's large technology employers, including those in the Denver Tech Center and Boulder, regularly hire into cloud operations analyst and junior DevOps engineer roles that serve as direct on-ramps. Adjacent roles in systems administration, network engineering, or IT support at Colorado firms are also common lateral moves, and some defense contractors in Colorado Springs offer structured apprenticeship or cleared junior engineer programs for candidates who can obtain a security clearance.
Where can I find and apply to cloud engineer jobs in Colorado?
