*Cloud Governance & Policy Engineer (Posture Management)* *Hybrid - 3 Days Onsite (Irving, TX * Chandler, AZ * Charlotte, NC)*
*Contract | Enterprise Financial Environment | HighImpact Engineering Role* Are you a cloud security engineer who naturally thinks in posture, policy, and preventive guardrails rather than runtime firefighting? Do you enjoy building automation that eliminates misconfigurations before they ever reach production? If so, this Posture Engineer-style role is exactly what you're looking for. Our enterprise financial-sector customer is hiring *two Cloud Governance & Policy Engineers* to strengthen cloud posture management across Azure and Google Cloud. This role is deeply technical, with a focus on *Terraform*, *Rego/RQL*, *CSPM automation*, and enabling secure cloud maturity at scale. *Why This Role Stands Out* Influenced by the "*Posture Engineer*" concept shared by leadership, this position focuses on *preventing risk*, not reacting to it. You'll shape cloud governance by designing automated controls, codifying configuration requirements, and enabling developer self-service scanning. This is a high-ownership, engineering-heavy role-ideal for someone who loves building automation, codifying policy, and modernizing enterprise cloud security. *Work Location* This is a *hybrid* role. Candidates must be able to work *onsite 3 days per week* in one of the following locations: * *Irving, TX* * *Chandler, AZ* * *Charlotte, NC* No fully remote options. *Key Responsibilities* * Develop and "semi-automate" Rego Policy-as-Code to detect cloud misconfigurations and configuration drift * Lead the migration of CSPM capabilities from legacy tooling into Wiz * Serve as internal SME for Wiz CSPM features, roadmap, tuning, and best practices * Build automated guardrails for Azure & Google Cloud resource posture * Enable ad-hoc developer scanning workflows (including IDE integrations) * Convert cloud security requirements into scalable, testable policies * Troubleshoot and resolve CSPM-related engineering escalations * Contribute to code repos and documentation, improving team-wide PaC maturity * Collaborate closely with engineering peers, cloud teams, and partner stakeholders * Mentor team members on Policy-as-Code automation and posture engineering principles *Required Skills & Experience* * *5+ years* Information Security Engineering * *4+ years* Terraform / automation engineering * *2+ years* Azure & Google Cloud (services, workloads, hardening practices) * *1+ year* Rego or RQL policy development * Python automation and REST API experience * Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) * Strong communicator able to influence cloud and security stakeholders * Experience working in Agile Scrum or Kanban teams * Strong analytical mindset and proven ability to work independently *Preferred Qualifications* * Hands-on experience with *Wiz* (CSPM/CNAPP) * Advanced Policy-as-Code automation (Rego) * DevSecOps background and automated testing experience * Kubernetes knowledge (AKS, GKE, OCP) * Cloud security frameworks (CIS, NIST, CSA) * Security certifications (CISSP, GIAC, CISM, CCSK, etc.) * Azure or Google Cloud certifications *Ideal Candidate Profile* A forwardthinking *Cloud Security / Governance Engineer* who thrives in: * Cloud posture management * Terraform-based governance * Policy automation using Rego/RQL * Largescale CSPM enablement * Preventive cloud security engineering Someone who likes solving rootcause problems and building scalable guardrails-not chasing incidents. *Job Type & Location*This is a Contract position based out of Irving, TX. *Pay and Benefits*The pay range for this position is $70.00 - $75.00/hr. Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms. If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following: * Medical, dental & vision * Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital * 401(k) Retirement Plan - Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available * Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents) * Short and long-term disability * Health Spending Account (HSA) * Transportation benefits * Employee Assistance Program * Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave) *Workplace Type*This is a hybrid position in Irving,TX. *Application Deadline*This position is anticipated to close on Feb 18, 2026. h4>About TEKsystems: We're partners in transformation.
