• Partner closely with SRE, platform, and engineering teams to ensure services are deployed and operated securely in highly regulated environments.
• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve incident response capabilities for cloud environments, including detection, containment, investigation, recovery, and post-incident analysis.
• Respond to security incidents, perform deep technical investigations, and drive remediation and long-term corrective actions.
• Proactively identify and mitigate security risks through threat-informed assessments, vulnerability management, and continuous cloud security reviews, including the use of tools such as CNAPP.
• Manage and improve security tooling and services such as SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security tooling, and monitoring platforms, while developing meaningful security and risk metrics.
• Contribute to the development and execution of our cloud security strategy, balancing business needs, engineering velocity, and regulatory obligations.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand system designs, guide secure architecture decisions, and help solve complex technical security problems.
• Contribute to cloud security education and training for engineering teams, helping raise the overall security maturity of the organization.
• Stay current on emerging cloud threats, AWS security capabilities, attacker techniques, and industry best practices, and translate that knowledge into practical improvements.

What you’ll need

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, securing, and operating cloud infrastructure on AWS, including deep practical knowledge of AWS security services, architecture patterns, and operational best practices.
• Proven experience working in high-security and regulated cloud environments, with strong familiarity with FedRAMP and SOC 2 requirements.
