Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Strong fit if you lead cloud networking and security operations, mentor on access design, incident analysis, and reliable documentation. Weak fit if you prefer pure app coding with little infrastructure or security ownership. Coalfire’s listing is remote U.S.; time-zone collaboration is part of the job.
As a Principal Cloud Engineer at Coalfire, a typical day centers on securing and operating cloud-network environments: configuring access permissions, diagnosing connectivity and security issues with diagnostic tools, documenting support work, and analyzing attempted or actual security breaches. Senior scope usually means setting patterns for WAN/LAN and cloud networking, backing up critical data, and guiding how the team hardens and troubleshoots systems.
The listing marks it remote in the United States, so work is not tied to one office city.
O*NET-aligned work includes security configuration, breach analysis, network diagnostics, documentation, and LAN/WAN setup.
