Secure containers, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines, embedding security into how our teams build and deploy

Monitor cloud security posture, identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, and drive them to resolution

Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, IT and Compliance partners to support security reviews, audits, and certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Partner with incident response to investigate and remediate cloud security events

Mentor and support teammates, helping to shape a strong, security-first engineering culture

Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and its native security services

Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep) and container security (Docker, Kubernetes)

Strong understanding of IAM, network security, encryption, key management, and secrets management

Scripting or programming skills (Python, Go, or Bash) to automate security controls

Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive independently and in collaborative teams
