Lead AWS Cloud Security Remediation Engineer (AWS Platform / CSPM Remediation)
Location: Remote with onsite interview in Reston, VA
Pay: $109/hour (W2)
Type: Contract | Schedule: 40 hours/week
Overview
We’re looking for a senior, hands-on AWS platform engineer to help remediate cloud security misconfigurations and attack indicators surfaced by a CSPM tool (CrowdStrike). This role is deeply technical and focused on building, hardening, troubleshooting, and improving AWS environments that support production workloads and ongoing migration efforts (on?prem to AWS/EKS).
“Lead” refers to senior depth/experience—this is not people management.
Work setup / interview
- Contract: 6 months (with potential extension based on project need)
- Location: Client is in Reston, VA. Onsite interview required, role is remote.
What you’ll do
- Remediate AWS security vulnerabilities/misconfigurations across:
- IAM, networking exposure, encryption/logging, patching, config drift, and container/EKS security
- Translate CSPM findings into actionable remediation plans and durable fixes
- Provision and harden AWS resources; implement repeatable guardrails and automation to prevent recurrence
- Troubleshoot production issues end-to-end with app teams and platform/security stakeholders
- Perform root-cause analysis (RCA) using logs/telemetry and implement corrective actions
- Support cloud migration/modernization efforts (on?prem workloads moving into AWS/EKS; migration is well underway)
- 10+ years overall IT experience (senior/lead level)
- 5+ years hands-on AWS platform engineering (AWS experience must be within the most recent 5 years)
- Strong production support and troubleshooting experience (not “pipeline-only DevOps”)
- Proven ability to perform RCA and partner with application teams to isolate issues (knowing where/what to check in logs)
- Terraform (at least 1+ year hands-on)
- Strong AWS fundamentals, including:
- EC2, IAM, Security Groups, S3, VPC/networking concepts
- Networking troubleshooting skills (identify bottlenecks from a platform engineering standpoint)
- Linux administration (hands-on)
- At least one AWS certification (Security / Solutions Architect / SysOps / DevOps preferred)
- EKS / Kubernetes (some openings are EKS-heavy)
- Python automation (Lambda/Boto3 helpful for remediation workflows)
- CloudFormation and/or CDK
- AWS security services experience (in a remediation context): Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, Config, CloudTrail/CloudWatch, KMS, Secrets Manager, WAF
- SRE / production engineering background (incident response, resiliency, operational readiness)
- Database experience
- Exposure to AI workloads (for some openings)
