About

Job Overview The Cloud Security Architect (AWS) is a hands‑on security leader with deep expertise in designing, securing, and assessing enterprise‑scale public cloud environments. In this role, you will partner closely with engineering and product teams to embed security into cloud architectures, platforms, and workflows across AWS, while maintaining knowledge and experience with Azure and GCP for emergency support or maintenance.
The position requires a hybrid schedule (3 days onsite) at either the DC or Silver Spring office.
Role Responsibilities
Serve as a Cloud Security Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Warner Bros. Discovery’s Information Security organization, providing authoritative guidance on public cloud security architecture and engineering.
Proactively identify cloud security risks across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, design pragmatic mitigation strategies, and lead or influence implementation efforts in partnership with engineering teams.
Design and produce clear, actionable architecture and security design artifacts to enable the Cloud Security team to implement solutions, whether developed in-house or delivered via third‑party vendors.
Partner closely with product and platform engineering teams to design, review, and validate secure network, compute, container, and serverless architectures.
Provide hands‑on IAM guidance, including policy design and review, to ensure least‑privilege access models are consistently implemented across cloud environments.
Review cloud architecture and AI/ML workloads to advise development teams on secure design patterns, data protection, identity controls, and potential security gaps prior to deployment.
Engage with public cloud service providers to evaluate and influence security features, roadmap capabilities, and best‑practice implementations.
Evaluate cloud security vendors and tools (including CSPM/CNAPP platforms), conduct proof‑of‑value assessments, and provide recommendations based on technical fit and risk reduction.
Mentor and support junior cloud security team members through technical guidance, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
Develop and maintain cloud security documentation, including architectural standards, reference designs, configuration guidelines, and operational processes.
Collaborate with senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders to assess current and future cloud security requirements and align solutions with business and technology strategy.
Continuously stay current with emerging cloud threats, attack techniques, and security tooling, applying this knowledge to improve WBD’s cloud security posture.
Qualifications & Experience Required
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Security, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience with 6-8 years of strong experience.
Strong hands‑on understanding of public cloud infrastructure components and architectures, with demonstrated ability to identify and mitigate security risks in decentralized, hybrid, and multi‑account cloud environments.
Solid understanding of information security principles, risk management, and compliance frameworks, and how they apply to large‑scale public cloud platforms.
Proven experience designing, building, and securing AWS‑based cloud environments, with meaningful hands‑on experience in Azure; exposure to GCP is a plus.
Ability to automate security processes end‑to‑end and collaborate closely with cloud engineering and product teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
Proficiency in at least one modern scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, Go, or Node.js) for automation, tooling, and integrations.
Strong foundational knowledge of IP networking concepts, including routing, VPNs, DNS, and network segmentation in cloud environments.
Hands‑on experience in several of the following areas: Cloud security administration across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP
Designing and securing serverless applications and managed cloud services
Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible
Command‑line tooling (Bash, PowerShell, AWS CLI, Azure CLI)
Container and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
Cloud network architecture and VPC/VNet engineering
Cloud‑native security services (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender for Cloud, GCP Security Command Center, WAF)
Source control and pipeline security (e.g., GitHub Security features)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and remain effective in a fast‑paced, rapidly changing environment.
Strong curiosity and commitment to continuous learning, with a desire to stay current on emerging cloud security threats, tools, and best practices.
The Nice to Haves
One or more current cloud provider certifications demonstrating advanced knowledge of cloud architecture and security, such as: AWS: Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional), Security – Specialty
Azure: Azure Fundamentals, Azure Solutions Architect Expert
GCP: Associate Cloud Engineer, Professional Cloud Security Engineer
Industry‑recognized security certifications reflecting a strong security foundation, such as CISSP or CompTIA Security+.
Hands‑on experience with cloud security platforms and tooling, including CSPM/CNAPP solutions (e.g., Wiz), SIEM and observability tools (e.g., Splunk), and cloud risk or asset management platforms (e.g., Brinqa).
Experience integrating security tooling and workflows with engineering collaboration platforms such as Slack, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines.
