  • Harden our cloud-native environments (AWS, OCI, GCP) by introducing secure by default cloud controls
  • Own and drive resolutions for enabling engineers to design, build, and use infrastructure securely at scale by paving the secure path using infrastructure-as-code modules and reusable code libraries
  • Manage IAM / RBAC for cloud infrastructure, and partner with IT on streamlining authentication/authorization to ensure unified access control across the board
  • Deploy, integrate and operationalize security platforms and services including but not limited to SIEM, SOAR, domain monitoring, endpoint tooling, cloud security tooling
  • Respond to security incidents and harden environments post-incidents.
  • Support control monitoring and remediation for compliance initiatives
  • Gather and analyze security metrics to address security issues with cross-team dependencies
  • Partner empathetically with engineering teams to understand their needs and deliver practical, scalable security solutions without creating unnecessary friction.

You may be a good fit if

  • 5+ years previous experience in SecOps, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Threat Detection & Response or software development with a strong focus on security engineering.
  • You’re a hands-on security engineer interested in automating controls and building scalable solutions rather than relying on manual processes.
  • You have experience in managing cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure, OCI) and Kubernetes environments
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems and SecOps workflows (Git, Terraform) in cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure, OCI)
  • Have practical experience with one or more of : infrastructure automation, network segmentation, system hardening, container and cloud security concepts, and security observability
  • You have experience with multiple languages such as Golang and/or Python
  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity, making informed decisions with incomplete information, and adapting your approach as requirements evolve.
  • You employ a flexible and constructive approach when solving problems
  • You are able to make trade-offs between build vs. buy decisions - help build solutions and able to review what tools are available
  • You understand secure engineering best practices, can articulate problem statements and propose solutions to both technically savvy and non-technical audiences
