• 5+ years of direct ownership of production release and deployment pipelines, including rollback procedures.
• 5+ years of ownership of SOC 2 or equivalent compliance change management and audit evidence processes.
• 5+ years of hands-on security operations experience.
• Practical experience administering IAM, including access reviews and privileged access controls.
• Experience supporting customer-facing security questionnaires and RFP security sections.
• Direct experience working with external auditors through at least one complete audit cycle.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• AWS security experience, particularly IAM, security groups, and CloudTrail.
• Familiarity with vulnerability disclosure platforms such as HackerOne or Bugcrowd.
• Experience coordinating third-party penetration tests.
• Familiarity with GRC and compliance platforms such as Vanta, Drata, or similar tools.
• Experience with customer trust and security review platforms such as Conveyor or CSA STAR.
• Previous experience working at a SaaS company serving regulated industries.

What We're Looking For

• Strong ownership: Takes responsibility for production releases, security operations, and compliance evidence.
• Sound judgment: Willing to stop or reject a production change that does not meet the required standards and explain the decision clearly.
• Incident management: Maintains a calm, structured approach when deployments fail or production incidents occur.
• Clear communication: Communicates effectively with engineering teams, external auditors, and customer security stakeholders.
• Attention to detail: Maintains accurate documentation, access records, approvals, and audit evidence.

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment with Coimbatore office, hybrid, and remote options.
• Paid holidays and flexible time off.
• Medical insurance coverage of up to ₹4 lakh per person for self and family.
• Opportunities to support production infrastructure and security operations for global clients.
