  • Develop and execute corrective action plans to mitigate identified risks.
  • 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.


Qualifications and Experience


To excel in this role, you should have:

  • A bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field (preferred).
  • An Information Security certification such as CISSP, CISM, or CEH (preferred).
  • At least 5 years of experience in a security role within a technology environment.
  • In-depth knowledge of cybersecurity best practices.
  • Expertise in secure application development and DevSecOps, including tools like Terraform, Ansible, Python, and Git.
  • Practical experience in additional security domains such as IAM, PKI, Network Security, Endpoint Security, or System Administration.
  • Hands-on experience in designing and implementing solutions in at least two information security domains.
