About the Role: 

Overview

We are seeking a Cloud AI Network Security Developer to architect and deliver advanced AI-driven network security capabilities across multi-cloud environments.

You'll lead the design of Python/Go-based distributed systems that power intelligent firewalls, real-time telemetry analytics, and LLM-integrated threat automation.

This role combines deep knowledge of cloud networking, firewall technologies, data engineering, and AI model integration to create secure, adaptive, and self-learning security systems.

Key Responsibilities

· Architect, design, and implement Python/Go-based cloud microservices for network and security control plane.

· Lead development of next-generation firewall services — policy enforcement, rule optimization, and AI-assisted event triage.

· Design and operationalize LLM integrations for:

o Policy generation and intent translation (natural language → firewall rules)

o Incident summarization and contextual analysis

o AI-assisted troubleshooting and documentation

· Build streaming data pipelines to process large-scale flow logs, IDS/IPS alerts, and cloud telemetry in real time (Kafka, Flink, Pub/Sub, Kinesis).

· Develop AI/ML inference services for anomaly detection, threat scoring, and risk classification.

· Ensure secure service communication, policy compliance, and zero-trust alignment.

· Mentor junior engineers and guide design/code reviews.

· Collaborate with data scientists, AI engineers, and cloud networking teams to deliver production-grade features.

Required Skills

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.

· 7+ years of software development experience, with strong proficiency in Python/Go (Golang).

· Deep understanding of cloud networking (VPC/VNet design, routing, gateways, load balancers, overlays).

· Hands-on experience with firewall and security technologies:

o Policy engines and rule orchestration

o Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and application-layer filtering

o NGFW/IDS/IPS systems

o Cloud-native firewalls (AWS Network Firewall, Azure Firewall, GCP Cloud Armor)

· Strong knowledge of data engineering pipelines — real-time stream processing, event correlation, and log enrichment.

· Proven experience with AI/ML integration — serving ML models via REST/gRPC, integrating LLMs for workflow automation, or building AI copilots for security.

· Solid experience in Kubernetes, microservices architecture, and observability systems (Prometheus, ELK, Grafana).

· Familiarity with security frameworks (Zero Trust, NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks).

Nice to Have

· Experience in LLM application design (RAG, LangChain, vector databases).

· Expertise with network telemetry analytics and visualization systems.

· Contributions to open-source network security or AI frameworks.

· Knowledge of distributed systems scaling, resilient cloud design, and multi-cloud policy federation.

· Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, GCP Cloud Security Engineer, CISSP, or CKA.
