  • Secure the development pipeline by integrating automated security checks, managing secrets, and ensuring compliance with SSDLC policies.
  • Architect and implement security solutions within AWS, including secure container architectures, orchestration, and runtime security measures.
  • Analyze complex technical issues, conduct research and testing, and propose effective solutions.
  • Validate and implement cloud security controls, maintaining a cloud security posture that aligns with the firm’s risk appetite.
  • Remediate vulnerabilities, perform continuous monitoring, and coach teams on patching and corrective actions.
  • Apply the organization's cybersecurity strategy and ensure governance of the public cloud infrastructure.
  • Generate and analyze KPIs and KRIs, and develop action plans based on findings.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to help the organization achieve certifications such as SOC2.
  • Contribute to regulatory reporting, red teaming exercises, and penetration testing efforts.
