- Monitor infrastructure, application, and security alerts and assist with incident investigation.
- Review access controls, privileged accounts, service accounts, permissions, and periodic access reviews.
- Support infrastructure hardening, logging, monitoring, backup, recovery, and other security controls.
- Track security issues and corrective actions through closure.
Vulnerability Management
- Run and review application and infrastructure vulnerability scans.
- Maintain a vulnerability register and coordinate remediation with engineering teams.
- Support VAPT and penetration-testing exercises and validate closure of findings.
- Monitor dependencies, containers, operating systems, and cloud infrastructure for known vulnerabilities and patching needs.
Compliance & Governance
- Support ongoing ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, customer-security, and internal-policy requirements.
- Maintain audit evidence, control registers, security policies, procedures, risk items, and remediation records.
- Assist with internal/external audits, vendor assessments, customer security questionnaires, and asset inventories.
- Maintain evidence for access reviews, vulnerability management, incidents, onboarding/offboarding, backups, and infrastructure changes.
MDM & Endpoint Security
- Administer the company MDM platform and enroll/manage company laptops, desktops, and mobile devices.
- Maintain device inventory and monitor endpoint compliance.
- Enforce approved controls such as disk encryption, screen locks, password requirements, patching, and endpoint protection.
- Support employee device onboarding/offboarding, approved application deployment, lost/stolen-device procedures, and remote wipe where authorized.
- Maintain endpoint security and MDM evidence required for audits and troubleshoot enrollment or policy issues.
DevOps, CI/CD & Cloud
- Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, build times, caching, and rollback processes.
- Support production and non-production cloud infrastructure, networking, DNS, TLS certificates, IAM, and secrets.
- Automate repetitive deployment, infrastructure, security, and compliance tasks.
- Improve monitoring, logging, alerting, reliability, resource utilization, and cloud costs.
- Troubleshoot pipeline, deployment, and infrastructure issues and participate in root-cause analysis.
Required Fundamentals
- Basic knowledge of Linux, networking, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, TLS, Git, Docker, cloud computing, APIs, and web applications.
- Understanding of IAM, MFA, least privilege, vulnerabilities/CVEs, encryption, logging, patching, and secrets management.
- Strong troubleshooting, ownership, attention to detail, and willingness to learn.
Desired Qualifications
- 1–2 years of experience with strong fundamentals are welcome.
- Basic scripting knowledge in Python, Bash, or similar.
- Interest in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, automation, and troubleshooting.
- Exposure to AWS/GCP/Azure, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Cloudflare, OWASP, vulnerability scanners, MDM, ISO 27001, or SOC 2 is a plus, not mandatory.
