• Secure applications built for cloud environments by automating security assessments, monitoring runtime environments, and integrating security practices into the development lifecycle. Focus on containers, serverless architectures, and virtual machines, adapting to emerging threats
• Implement robust security controls for cloud workloads and data, including containers, virtual machines, and serverless architectures. Protect against threats while maintaining performance and scalability, using encryption, data loss prevention, and access controls
• Lead security hardening across all cloud security layers, with a focus on Kubernetes clusters and cloud-native environments. Secure container runtimes, implement stringent network policies, manage secrets securely, and ensure resilience against attacks at scale
• Partner with infrastructure, product security, security engineering, and engineering teams to design and implement secure platform solutions. Provide expertise in developing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes, ensuring security is integrated throughout the development lifecycle
• Develop and deploy automation solutions to enhance security operations, reduce manual efforts, and ensure consistent security practices. Create reusable templates and modules for secure infrastructure to enable rapid, secure deployments
• Contribute to incident response efforts, including detection, analysis, containment, and recovery. Work with internal and external stakeholders to minimize the impact of incidents and prevent future occurrences
• Ensure cloud infrastructures comply with standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and HITRUST. Implement automated compliance checks, data governance practices, and reporting to maintain alignment with these frameworks and protect data integrity
• Act as a technical leader and mentor, promoting a security-first mindset. Guide best practices in cloud security and data protection, and integrate secure practices into the organization’s culture and processes

• Deep understanding of cloud security principles and best practices, with proven experience in implementing and managing cloud-native security tools at scale
• Extensive knowledge of fundamental security technologies, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, IAM, encryption, and DLP
• Expertise with key tooling: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs), Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
• Expertise in securing and hardening cloud workloads, including containers, serverless architectures, and virtual machines, with a track record of enhancing security posture
• Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi, and expertise in integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
• High proficiency in programming or scripting languages for developing complex security automation solutions
• Comprehensive understanding of cloud and network security, with experience in securing cloud architecture across multiple environments
• Demonstrated ability to perform in-depth security reviews of SaaS product architecture and its supporting infrastructure, with a focus on driving improvements
• Familiarity with and ability to implement compliance standards HIPAA, HITRUST, CIS, NIST 800-53 and others with a low-touch approach
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with a proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams, including product teams and developers, to drive a security-first culture, effect change across the organization and further the cloud security roadmap
