Collaborate with engineering, platform and security teams to operationalize security architecture requirements and implement scalable remediation solutions.
Support security investigations by providing cloud telemetry, automation, and technical expertise as needed.
Provide technical leadership and guidance on cloud security best practices, automation patterns, and DevSecOps adoption across the organization.
Contribute to enterprise security initiatives by standardizing controls, improving automation maturity, and driving continuous improvement of cloud security capabilities.
Stay current on emerging cloud technologies, security threats, and defensive techniques to continuously enhance the organization’s security posture.
Be a champion and advocate of cybersecurity within the company.

Experience implementing and managing policy-as-code and preventative guardrails using cloud-native or third-party frameworks (e.g., AWS SCPs, Azure Policy, and OPA).
Knowledge across multiple security domains, including DevSecOps, Cloud infrastructure security, container security, identity and access management, vulnerability management and threat detection.
Experience with managing cloud security platforms and tooling (e.g., CNAPP), and operationalizing security controls at scale.
