In short

Remote Pro Ai provides vetted Cloud Security Engineers who secure multi-cloud and sovereign-cloud estates with zero-trust architecture and continuous posture management. They design secure landing zones and identity boundaries, run CSPM and CNAPP tools such as Wiz or Prisma Cloud, and automate guardrails as policy-as-code.

Your Cloud Security Engineer designs secure landing zones, network segmentation and identity boundaries, and automates guardrails as code (policy-as-code, IaC scanning). Typical stack: AWS, Azure, GCP, Wiz and Prisma Cloud.

Why teams are hiring this role now

Cloud security is one of the strongest demand signals in cybersecurity, and many organisations report critical security-skills gaps. New in-country cloud regions in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, plus NCA, SAMA, DORA and NIS2 obligations, mean every migration now needs security engineered into the landing zone from day one.

Cloud Security Engineer hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 Cloud Security Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 5,120/month · Senior from USD 6,730/month · Lead from USD 8,740/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

Yes. Our bench covers all 3 hyperscalers plus sovereign and in-Kingdom regions, using Wiz, Prisma Cloud or Defender for Cloud for posture management, and Terraform, OPA and Vault for guardrails and secrets. Many hold CCSP, AWS Security Specialty or AZ-500, verified before we share profiles.

Engineers harden clusters with network policies, admission control, pod security standards, image scanning and runtime protection through your CNAPP. Findings flow into engineering workflows, so issues are fixed in code and pipelines rather than only flagged in a console nobody checks.

Policy-as-code expresses security rules, such as “no public storage” or “encryption required”, as tested code that runs automatically in pipelines and cloud accounts. It blocks misconfigurations before deployment, produces audit evidence continuously and scales across hundreds of accounts without manual review.

Yes. Engineers design encryption with customer-managed or in-country keys, restrict data to approved regions and log every access. These controls map directly to NCA, SAMA and ISO 27001 requirements, and they prepare your estate for cloud incident response and forensics.
