Cloud & Security Implementation Consultant

Posting Date: October 26, 2023 Department: Professional Services & Delivery Reports To: Director of Technical Services Location: Remote (USA) / Charlotte, NC Preferred Travel: < 10% (as needed for key projects) Type: Full-Time, Exempt About FuntoNetwork At FuntoNetwork, we empower businesses by building secure, modern, and resilient IT infrastructures. We provide comprehensive solutions from cloud migration and development to managed cybersecurity, including our flagship "ShieldMax Enterprise" MDR service. Our consultants are the engine that turns our strategic proposals into operational reality. The Opportunity: A Dual-Role Specialist We are seeking a unique consultant who lives at the intersection of Cloud Infrastructure/Development and Security Implementation. In this role, you will: • Design, develop, and migrate client workloads to modern cloud platforms (Azure/AWS). • Architect and deploy the foundational security controls that enable our Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service, ensuring clients are "monitoring-ready." You are the critical link between our cloud offerings and our security practice. When we sell a cloud project and a ShieldMax security package, you will be the single technical owner who delivers both in an integrated fashion. Core Responsibilities Cloud Design & Development (Primary Focus - 70%): • Consult with clients to design, architect, and implement cloud solutions (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) primarily in Microsoft Azure or AWS. • Develop infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation) for repeatable, secure deployments. • Containerize applications and implement orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). • Migrate and modernize on-premises workloads to the cloud. • Optimize cloud environments for performance, cost, and reliability. Security Implementation & Enablement (Critical Focus - 30%): • Implement the "Protect" pillar of our NIST-based framework as a prerequisite for MDR onboarding. • Deploy and configure the core security tools that our SOC will monitor: • Endpoint: Install and policy-configure EDR agents (e.g., CrowdStrike) across all endpoints/servers. • Identity: Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and configure Identity & Access Management settings in Azure AD/Entra ID. • Email & Network: Assist with the rollout of advanced email security and network segmentation rules. • Data: Implement core cloud security posture management (CSPM) and data protection baselines. • Work hand-in-hand with the Cybersecurity Delivery Consultant (MDR Focus) to ensure a seamless handoff from a "secure configuration" to "managed monitoring and response." What You Bring (Qualifications) • 3+ years of hands-on cloud engineering/development experience with Azure (preferred) or AWS. • 2+ years of practical security implementation experience, specifically deploying security tools and hardening systems. • Proven technical skills in: • Cloud Platforms: Microsoft Azure (Admin/Architect), AWS (Solutions Architect). • Scripting & Automation: PowerShell, Python, Terraform. • Core Security Tools: Experience deploying EDR, configuring MFA/SSO, understanding of firewalls and Zero Trust concepts. • Mindset: A security-first approach to cloud design. You build it securely from the start. • Certifications (A strong plus): Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate / Security Engineer Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect / Security, CompTIA Security+, CISSP Associate. Why This Role is Impactful • Billable & Strategic: You directly enable two revenue streams (Cloud & Security) and are crucial to customer satisfaction for our largest deals. • High Visibility: You work closely with sales, security analysts, and client executives. • Continuous Learning: Stay at the forefront of cloud and security technology. • Compensation: Competitive salary, performance bonuses tied to project success and security enablement, and comprehensive benefits. Ready to Build and Secure the Cloud? If you are a cloud expert who understands that security is not an add-on but the foundation, we need you on our team.
