As a hands-on technical expert, you will play a crucial role in enhancing our cloud security posture, with a primary focus on data protection and incident management. This position offers the opportunity to work in a collaborative environment, where you will contribute to the security and resilience of our cloud infrastructure.
Job Responsibilities:

Configure and maintain cloud-native security tools (e.g., AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Google Security Command Center).
Integrate cloud logs with SIEM systems for threat detection.
Lead incident response efforts for cloud-related security events.
Continuously monitor cloud environments using CSPM, CNAPP, and cloud-native security tools to identify, prioritize, and remediate security misconfigurations and policy violations.
Track and manage cloud security findings through remediation workflows.
Partner with Cloud Platform, Infrastructure, and Application teams to coordinate remediation of identified security risks and vulnerabilities.
Conduct root cause analysis of recurring cloud security issues and recommend preventive controls and automation improvements.
4. Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Management
DLP Alert Triage and Investigation: Monitor, triage, and investigate all DLP alerts and events. Differentiate between policy violations, potential insider threats, and false positives, escalating confirmed incidents to the Incident Response team.
Tool Optimization and Tuning: Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for Cloud DLP tools (e.g., Microsoft Purview, Google DLP, dedicated CASB solutions). Continuously tune policies and rulesets to minimize alert fatigue while maintaining high fidelity.
Reporting and Compliance: Generate regular reports on DLP effectiveness, policy violations, and risk trends for leadership and compliance/audit teams (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR).
Data Classification Integration: Collaborate with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) teams to ensure DLP policies align with the corporate data classification framework.
5. Automation and DevSecOps
Develop automation scripts (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Run).
6. Cloud Security Posture Management & Compliance
Continuously assess AWS, Azure, and GCP environments using CSPM platforms to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed resources, compliance gaps, and other security risks.
Develop, maintain, and enforce cloud security baselines aligned with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and organizational security policies.
Perform periodic cloud security assessments and audits using CIS Benchmarks, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), NIST, and internal security standards.
Drive remediation of findings identified through CSPM monitoring, security assessments, audits, compliance reviews, and risk assessments.
Support internal and external audits by providing cloud security evidence, compliance reporting, and remediation status updates.
7. Secure Access and Network Security Controls
Enforce secure access patterns by eliminating unnecessary public exposure and implementing private endpoints, bastion hosts, AWS Systems Manager Session Manager, and least-privilege network segmentation.
Enforce private connectivity architectures by leveraging:
AWS PrivateLink
Azure Private Endpoints
Google Private Service Connect
Eliminate unnecessary public exposure of cloud workloads, services, and management interfaces.
Design and maintain least-privilege network segmentation and cloud-native firewall controls across multi-cloud environments.
8. Cloud Workload Security and Hardening
Establish and maintain secure cloud operating system baselines using CIS Benchmarks and vendor-recommended hardening standards.
Perform periodic reviews and validation of operating system, virtual machine, and container security configurations.
Collaborate with Infrastructure and Platform teams to implement hardened images and golden image standards.
Monitor and remediate deviations from approved OS hardening baselines.
Job Qualifications:
Technical Expertise
Deep knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Proficiency in scripting: Python (preferred), PowerShell, Unix shell scripting.
Strong understanding of networking and cloud-native network security.
Experience with CSPM/CNAPP platforms such as CloudGuard Dome9, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or similar solutions.
Strong knowledge of CIS Benchmarks, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), NIST, and industry cloud security best practices.
Familiarity with securing OS and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
