Workflow Integration: Write and maintain basic python scripts, infrastructure-as-code, and webhooks to seamlessly link alerting pipelines like PagerDuty with cloud infrastructure.
AI-Augmented Development: Leverage generative AI coding assistants to efficiently write, debug, and document code, transforming existing automated processes into highly optimized, frictionless workflows.
Automated Tabletop & Posture Engineering: Help the engineering team design, build, and execute automated tabletop exercises and simulated attack campaigns to pressure-test the resilience of our production cloud environments.
Logic Tuning & Drift Prevention: Audit existing security automation logic to ensure cloud API updates or environmental changes don't cause silent code failures or tracking issues.
Qualifications & Skills
The Mindset: A strong desire to pursue a career in Cyber Security, specifically within Cloud Security Operations, Incident Response, or Detection Engineering.
Scripting Exposure: Basic experience or coursework in coding/scripting (Python, Bash, or similar languages) and a conceptual understanding of APIs.
