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.
- Author and maintain GCP organization policies, IAM-related guardrails, network and data-perimeter controls, and other native GCP policy mechanisms.
- Apply transferable policy-engineering patterns from AWS Service Control Policies, Azure Policy, or equivalent cloud-native governance frameworks.
- Implement preventive controls in Terraform and CI/CD workflows to identify or block noncompliant infrastructure before deployment.
- Implement detective and runtime controls using GCP-native security services, CSPM capabilities, logging, telemetry, event-driven automation, and drift detection.
- Design corrective workflows and remediation automation for control violations, including clear ownership, prioritization, exception handling, and evidence capture.
- Own the end-to-end control lifecycle: requirement interpretation, technical design, policy authoring, peer review, unit and integration testing, controlled rollout, monitoring, tuning, documentation, and retirement.
- Determine the most effective enforcement point for each requirement and identify compensating controls when preventive enforcement is not technically feasible.
- Build reusable policy libraries, common test patterns, modules, and implementation standards that improve consistency and delivery speed.
- Partner with GCP platform engineering, application teams, security architecture, risk, incident response, and control-assurance stakeholders.
- Troubleshoot complex control failures, false positives, pipeline issues, policy conflicts, and production security events; drive root-cause resolution.
- Define implementation metrics and technical evidence that demonstrate control coverage, effectiveness, exceptions, and remediation status.
- Provide technical direction, code and design review, and hands-on mentorship to engineers while maintaining direct involvement in critical implementations.
What you'll bring to the role:
- Bachelors degree in computer science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of hands-on cloud security, platform security, security engineering, or cloud control engineering experience.
- Demonstrated production experience implementing security controls in GCP, including direct policy authoring, testing, deployment, and operational support.
- Hands-on experience with GCP organization policies and one or more relevant native security capabilities such as IAM, VPC Service Controls, Security Command Center, Cloud Logging, event-driven services, or organization-level governance.
- 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 Security Engineer
Map your credentials to SOC codes
Security Engineer roles span multiple Standard Occupational Classification codes, including Information Security Analysts and Software Quality Assurance Engineers. Pull the O*NET profile for each code to confirm your degree field and job duties align before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filings
Search Migrate Mate to find employers who have already filed Labor Condition Applications for Security Engineer roles. Prior filings signal that HR and legal teams understand H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship and won't treat your application as a first-time experiment.
Request a specialty occupation confirmation in writing
Before signing an offer, ask the employer to confirm in writing that the Security Engineer role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. This language protects you if the consular officer questions whether the position qualifies as a specialty occupation.
Verify your employer's E-Verify enrollment status
H-1B1 visa holders are authorized for U.S. employment, but some federal contractors and government-adjacent security firms require E-Verify participation. Confirm enrollment before your start date to avoid delays in onboarding clearance-sensitive roles.
Time your LCA filing around consulate appointment slots
The DOL certifies LCAs within seven business days. Ask your employer to file early so certification lands before you book your consulate appointment. Gaps between LCA certification and your interview window are the most common scheduling friction in H-1B1 Singapore cases.
Use OFLC Wage Search to validate your prevailing wage tier
Security Engineer salaries vary significantly by specialization and metro area. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your exact SOC code and work location before your offer negotiation so you can verify the employer's offered wage meets the DOL prevailing wage requirement for your level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Security Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as computer science, cybersecurity, or information systems. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field can face consular scrutiny. Your offer letter and employer's LCA should explicitly state the required degree field to support the specialty occupation determination.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for Security Engineers?
The H-1B1 Singapore visa skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Singapore, not through USCIS. The annual cap is 5,400 visas and has never been fully used. The tradeoff is that the H-1B1 is granted in one-year increments and doesn't carry dual intent, which matters if you're weighing long-term immigration options alongside your Security Engineer career.
How do I find Security Engineer employers who already know how to sponsor the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore LCA filing history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never navigated the process. Security Engineer roles in financial services, defense contracting, and enterprise software tend to have the most active sponsoring employers on the platform.
Can I switch Security Engineer employers while on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but each employer change requires a new LCA filing and a new consulate appointment for a fresh H-1B1 visa stamp. Unlike H-1B visa portability, there's no USCIS petition transfer mechanism. Plan for a gap between your last day with the current employer and your new start date, since your authorization is tied to the specific employer listed on your visa.
What documentation should a Singaporean Security Engineer prepare before the consulate interview?
Bring the certified LCA, your offer letter confirming the specialty occupation and wage, your academic transcripts showing a relevant technical degree, and your Singaporean passport. If your degree title doesn't map obviously to cybersecurity or information security, a credential evaluation letter from a recognized evaluator helps the consular officer confirm equivalency without additional questioning.
