• Design, implement, and operate cloud-native security controls across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle.
• Strengthen IAM, network security, and cloud posture using services like GuardDuty, Azure Security Center and others.
• Partner with platform teams to secure VPCs, security groups, and cloud access patterns.

Application & DevSecOps Security:

• Embed security into the SDLC through threat modeling, secure code reviews, and security-by-design practices.
• Integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into CI/CD pipelines.
• Secure infrastructure-as-code and containerized workloads using Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Security Monitoring & Incident Response:

• Monitor security alerts and investigate potential threats across cloud and application layers.
• Lead or support incident response efforts, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Plan and execute VAPT and penetration testing engagements (internal and external), track remediation, and validate fixes.
• Conduct red teaming activities and tabletop exercises to test detection, response readiness, and cross-team coordination.
• Continuously improve detection, response, and testing maturity.

Security Tools & Platforms:

• Manage and optimize security tooling including firewalls, SIEM, EDR, DLP, IDS/IPS, CSPM, and vulnerability management platforms.
• Ensure tools are well-integrated, actionable, and aligned with operational needs.

Compliance, Governance & Awareness:

• Support compliance with industry standards and frameworks such as SOC2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, and GDPR.
• Promote secure engineering practices through training, documentation, and ongoing awareness programs.
• Act as a trusted security advisor to engineering and product teams.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay ahead of emerging threats, cloud vulnerabilities, and evolving security best practices.
• Continuously raise the bar on a company's security posture through automation and process improvement.

Endpoint Security (Secondary Scope):

• Provide guidance on endpoint security tooling such as SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender when required.

Ideal Candidate:

• Strong hands-on experience in cloud security across AWS and Azure.
• Practical exposure to CSPM tools (e.g., Prisma Cloud, Wiz, Orca) and SIEM / IDS / IPS platforms.
• Experience securing containerized and Kubernetes-based environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD security integrations (e.g., Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, or similar).
