• Respond to cloud-related security incidents and support containment, remediation, and post-incident reviews
• Develop and maintain cloud-focused incident response procedures and playbooks
• Participate in daily security operations, including reviewing and resolving security-related tickets, alerts, requests, and escalations
• Participate in the Infrastructure Security on-call rotation, including occasional weekend and after-hours work as required

Partnership & Risk Management

• Participate in security architecture reviews and assess cloud designs for new technologies, services, and integrations
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Infrastructure Engineering, Platform Engineering, Application Development, and Technology Operations to embed secure-by-design practices
• Support audit, compliance, and regulatory activities by providing cloud control evidence and mapping controls to frameworks such as NIST CSF, SOC 2, and PCI DSS
• Partner with Vulnerability Management to support patching, configuration hardening, and remediation of cloud vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
• Collaborate with Infrastructure Security team members across Endpoint Security, Vulnerability Management, and AI Security
• Serve as a cloud security subject matter expert and help strengthen the broader team through mentoring, knowledge sharing, and documented standards

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, systems engineering, or a related discipline
• Hands-on experience securing AWS environments
• Experience with Microsoft Azure security services and controls
• Strong understanding of cloud identity and access management principles
• Experience with CSPM, SIEM, EDR/XDR, or similar security technologies
• Experience investigating security events and supporting incident response
• Knowledge of cloud networking, logging, monitoring, encryption, and secrets management concepts
• Experience collaborating with infrastructure, architecture, platform, and application engineering teams
• Ability to translate cloud security risks into practical technical controls and remediation guidance
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

What Will Make You Stand Out

• AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), CCSP, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, CISSP, or an equivalent certification
• Experience with CrowdStrike Falcon, Falcon Cloud Security, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or similar platforms
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code technologies such as Terraform
