I am looking for my next role, here is a little about me:
Shannon | Senior Cloud Security Engineer
Open to Senior Cloud Security or Security Manager Roles
With 15+ years in security engineering, I'm exploring my next chapter either stepping into a Senior Cloud Security Engineer role where I can go deep technically, or transitioning into a Security Manager position where I can lead and grow a team.
My background spans the full cloud security stack: CSPM, vulnerability management, detection engineering (Splunk), IAM/identity (Okta, Microsoft Entra, SAML), container security, and cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP. I've led cross-functional security initiatives from IaC-based scanner deployments and SaaS security hardening to FedRAMP High compliance work and enterprise Okta migrations and I'm comfortable operating at both the hands-on engineering level and the stakeholder communication level.
I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area (Castro Valley, CA). I thrive in environments that value rigor, ownership, and continuous improvement.
What I'm looking for:
A team that takes security seriously and gives engineers room to do the sameWork that spans cloud-native infrastructure, detection, and identity and not siloed into one narrow laneIf a management path: a role where I'm building and mentoring a team, not just inheriting processes.
I have also started my own AI Security research project.
Thank you,
Shannon
