About The Role
- You will engineer secure, automated, and scalable cloud environments across GCP, AWS and Azure. You will embed security into Terraform-based provisioning workflows, enforce hardened baselines through golden images and guardrails, and drive technical enforcement of best practices across infrastructure layers, from identity to workloads
Responsibilities
- Design and implement security controls across cloud environments such as GCP, AWS, and Azure.
- Develop and maintain IaC modules and Ansible playbooks for secure infrastructure automation.
- Leverage CSPM and CNAPP platforms to manage cloud security posture, identity risks, and vulnerability remediation.
- Configure and optimize CASB, ZTNA, SaaS visibility, and data protection controls.
- Build automated guardrails, policy enforcement, and detection logic using cloud-native tools.
- Improve and maintain IAM governance, least privilege access, and identity lifecycle workflows.
- Enhance network security, workload protection, logging, monitoring, and encryption/KMS configurations.
- Deploy and manage Kubernetes security initiatives across clusters and workloads.
- Contribute to cloud incident response, threat investigations, and detection engineering efforts.
- Drive continuous improvement of cloud security tooling, automation, and operational processes.
- Ensure cloud environments align with CIS, NIST, and internal governance requirements.
- Keeping cloud infrastructure current, making recommendations, and continually improving cloud security technologies.
- Working with analysts, engineers, and data scientists across the organization to continually improve cyber resilience.
- Take part in post-incident reviews and propose engineering resolutions to improve results in any future recurrence.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, or Cloud Security roles.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related fields
- Hands-on experience securing cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure), including implementing IAM, network, workload, logging, monitoring, and encryption controls.
- Hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible for provisioning and automating secure infrastructure.
- Familiarity with cloud security tools such as Wiz (for CSPM, CNAPP, and identity/security posture management) and Netskope (for CASB, ZTNA, and SaaS/cloud access security).
- Proficient in container security and Kubernetes (RBAC, secrets management, cluster hardening) and hardened Linux baselines.
- Working knowledge of image-building tools (e.g., Packer, AWS Image Builder) and cloud-native security tooling.
- Comfortable working in GitOps environments and integrating security into GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to implement automated security guardrails, detection logic, and CI/CD security integrations.
- Understanding of cloud security standards and frameworks such as CIS, NIST, or ISO 27001.
- Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills; able to guide teams on secure practices.
