  • Implement defense-in-depth controls across IaaS, PaaS, containers, and IAM for infrastructure.
  • Lead threat modeling and architecture reviews to identify and mitigate risks before production.
  • Embed automated security scanning, policy-as-code, and approval gates into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Build scalable IaC frameworks to enforce security baselines and eliminate configuration drift.
  • Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and business teams to shift security left in the design lifecycle.
  • Drive control maturity through regular assessments and a roadmap focused on automation and operational efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on cloud and infrastructure security.
  • Master’s degree in a technical field or holding a relevant professional security certification (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, CCSK, or Cloud Security Specialty certifications).
  • Proven experience working within a large-scale, global enterprise or highly agile, fast-paced technology environment.
  • Deep hands-on experience developing internal security tools and utilities in Python or Go for security validation, observability, and enforcement across hybrid cloud landscapes.
  • Deep familiarity with securing modern infrastructure technologies, including containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), Zero Trust Architecture, SASE, and CI/CD security integration.
  • Demonstrated expertise in advanced automation and validation techniques, such as Policy-as-Code (e.g., OPA/Rego, Sentinel) and continuous control validation platforms.
