Cyber, Data, Risk & Resilience:
Cyber, Data, Risk & Resilience delivers first-line defenses to manage technology, information, and cyber risk through risk identification, control management, and assurance. The organization helps the business operate and grow securely, comply with applicable obligations, and respond to an evolving threat landscape.
ROLE PROFILE:
The Cloud Security Engineering team enables secure adoption of cloud-native technologies at enterprise scale. We design, implement, test, and operate security controls that protect cloud platforms and make secure deployment easier for application and infrastructure teams.
We are seeking a Lead GCP Platform Cloud Security Controls Engineer, VP, to lead the hands-on implementation of cloud-native security checks for the GCP platform. The successful candidate will convert security requirements into preventive, detective, and corrective controls across organization-level guardrails, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD workflows, and runtime/CSPM monitoring. This role requires deep technical control implementation experience, strong policy-writing skills, and the ability to connect deploy-time prevention with runtime assurance and remediation.
What you'll do in the role:
- Lead the design, coding, testing, deployment, and operation of GCP-native security controls across enterprise GCP organizations, folders, projects, and workloads.
- Translate configuration baseline, architecture, risk, and regulatory requirements into automated, testable, and enforceable cloud security policies.

- Experience authoring cloud-native preventive policies, with GCP experience preferred; comparable experience with AWS Service Control Policies, Azure Policy, or similar guardrail frameworks is relevant.
- Strong Terraform and infrastructure-as-code experience, including module usage, plan evaluation, policy validation, testing, and secure deployment patterns.
- Practical experience integrating security checks and enforcement gates into CI/CD pipelines using Git-based engineering workflows.
- Experience implementing runtime or CSPM controls, including posture evaluation, cloud configuration monitoring, drift detection, alert tuning, and remediation workflows.
- Ability to translate written security requirements into clear technical control logic, test cases, acceptance criteria, and implementation evidence.
- Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language such as Python, Go, Bash, or PowerShell.
- Strong understanding of GCP security architecture, including identity and access management, networking, service perimeters, encryption and key management, logging, workload security, and data protection.
- Experience with software engineering practices for policy and automation code, including version control, peer review, unit testing, integration testing, release management, and troubleshooting.
- Ability to communicate technical decisions, risks, dependencies, and implementation status to engineering teams and senior stakeholders.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with policy-as-code technologies such as OPA/Rego, Conftest, Terraform policy frameworks, or comparable validation engines.
- Experience designing event-driven corrective controls using GCP serverless services and cloud telemetry.
- Experience integrating CSPM platforms with native GCP controls and deploy-time policy enforcement.
- Experience building shared policy libraries or control frameworks for multiple teams, environments, or cloud services.
- Experience working in a regulated enterprise and producing traceable control implementation evidence.
- Relevant GCP security or professional cloud certification.
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers while remaining hands-on with architecture, code, testing, and incident troubleshooting.
Leadership and Collaboration
- Set technical direction and implementation standards for GCP platform security controls.
- Mentor engineers in cloud-native policy design, Terraform, secure delivery pipelines, runtime assurance, testing, and operational support.
- Create a high-accountability engineering culture with clear ownership, practical documentation, strong reviews, and measurable outcomes.
- Influence platform and application designs through credible, hands-on engineering expertise and constructive cross-functional partnership.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Controls Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B1 visa requires a specialty occupation tied to a specific field. For Controls Engineer roles, confirm your degree is in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a directly related discipline before applying. A general engineering degree paired with unrelated coursework can trigger scrutiny at the consulate.
Search employer LCA filings by occupation code
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter Labor Condition Application filings under the Controls Engineer SOC code. This shows which U.S. employers have already sponsored similar roles, saving you from targeting companies with no sponsorship track record.
Find H-1B1 Singapore sponsors on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified DOL filing history for Controls Engineer roles, filtered for H-1B1 Singapore eligibility. Use it to identify companies that have sponsored Singaporean nationals rather than cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with the visa category.
Request the LCA before your interview closes
Your employer must file and receive a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Flag this requirement early in negotiations so the LCA is in hand before your offer expires or your start date approaches.
Bring PLC and SCADA documentation to your consular interview
Consular officers assess whether your role genuinely requires a specialized degree. Prepare project documentation showing your work with programmable logic controllers, SCADA systems, or industrial automation platforms, linking your technical experience directly to the specialty occupation definition.
Confirm your employer is enrolled in E-Verify before filing
H-1B1 visa employers must participate in E-Verify. Ask your HR contact to confirm enrollment status before the LCA is submitted. If the employer isn't enrolled, they'll need to register with E-Verify first, which adds time to your pre-filing timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Controls Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, Controls Engineer roles consistently qualify as a specialty occupation because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field. The O*NET occupation profile for industrial and controls engineers supports this classification. Your employer documents the degree requirement in the Labor Condition Application, and the consular officer verifies it at your interview.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for Controls Engineer positions?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely, which means your employer can hire you for a Controls Engineer role in any fiscal year without competing for a limited pool of slots. Processing goes directly through the U.S. consulate rather than USCIS, which is typically faster. The trade-off is that H-1B visa1 doesn't allow dual intent, so it's a nonimmigrant-only path.
How can I find Controls Engineer employers who are familiar with H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with documented DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, including filings relevant to Singaporean nationals seeking H-1B1 visa sponsorship. This lets you focus your search on companies that have already navigated the process rather than educating an HR team from scratch about a visa category they've never handled.
Can my H-1B1 Singapore visa be extended if my Controls Engineer contract is renewed?
Yes. The H-1B1 visa is issued in two-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and your employer files a new Labor Condition Application for each renewal period. There's no lifetime cap on renewals, so long-term employment as a Controls Engineer in the U.S. is possible without switching to a different visa category.
What happens if my Controls Engineer role changes significantly after my H-1B1 is approved?
A material change in job duties, location, or employer requires a new Labor Condition Application and potentially a new consular application. If you move to a substantially different controls engineering role, such as shifting from field instrumentation to software-defined automation systems at a different site, your employer needs to file an updated LCA with DOL before the change takes effect.
