Cloud & Infrastructure Security

AI runs on cloud. Someone needs to secure it. From traditional cloud environments to the GPU clusters, model pipelines, and data platforms powering the AI revolution, this is the role that stops a misconfiguration from becoming a breach.

Do I need a Cloud Security Engineer?

If you're running production workloads in the cloud and you don't have someone who wakes up every morning thinking about how to secure it, you have a problem. Most breaches at startups aren't sophisticated hacks. They're a misconfigured S3 bucket or an exposed database.

What do they actually do?

They build the guardrails for your cloud environment. They lock down access, segment your networks, encrypt your data, and build the monitoring that tells you when something is wrong. They are the reason a single stolen developer laptop doesn't take down your entire company.

// 03

When should I hire one?

If you've raised a Series A and have more than 10 engineers, you're overdue. If an enterprise customer has sent you a security questionnaire, you needed one yesterday. This is almost always the first or second security hire a cloud-native startup makes.
