Cloud Security Engineer

About First Connect […] is a digital marketplace providing independent insurance agents access to top US carriers and the optionality necessary to grow their businesses. Agents can work with 150+ carriers, selling various insurance policies, including home, auto, small business, and more. We're on a mission to overhaul the technology agents have access to, putting consumer-grade software at their fingertips.

We've got thousands of active agents with hundreds joining monthly, and we plan to accelerate our growth. Role Overview First Connect is fully cloud-native — no offices, no data centers, everything we run lives in the cloud and ships through our pipelines. That makes cloud and infrastructure security the center of gravity for our whole security program , and it's the part of the program we are building right now.

This is a hands-on engineering role and most of what you own will be implemented, configured and tuned from scratch rather than inherited: cloud security posture and workload protection, infrastructure and IaC guardrails, automation that removes manual security work, and the emerging practice around how we secure both our internal use of AI and the AI capabilities in our product and development. You'll also help us keep our security engineering aligned with our SOC 2 Type II and financial-services regulatory obligations. You'll join our team as our first dedicated Cloud Security Engineer, reporting directly to our Information Security
