Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in security engineering, infrastructure security, application security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, offensive security.
• Exceptional knowledge of the AWS ecosystem.
• Experience identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in production systems.
• Working knowledge of compliance frameworks: SOC 2, PCI, and best practices for FinTech environments.
• Self-starter mindset: able to drive projects, make decisions, and prioritize ruthlessly in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex systems to both engineering and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Secure and harden cloud infrastructure, applications, APIs, internal systems, and operational workflows.
• Implement and maintain security controls across production environments, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and internal tooling.
• Work directly with engineering teams to remediate vulnerabilities and improve secure development practices.
• Ensure encryption, secrets management, logging, monitoring, and access controls are properly implemented and continuously maintained.
• Design and improve security architecture across cloud-native and distributed systems.
• Build scalable security processes that integrate directly into engineering and operational workflows.
• Continuously identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities across infrastructure, applications, APIs, and operational systems.
• Proactively search for weaknesses through vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, adversarial testing, threat modeling, manual security reviews.
• Coordinate remediation efforts across engineering and operations teams.
• Validate fixes and ensure long-term mitigation strategies are implemented.
• Improve detection and prevention capabilities for emerging threats.
• Help establish a culture of continuous security improvement and operational accountability.
• Secure AI-driven systems and automated agents against emerging threats including prompt injection, adversarial inputs, unauthorized or unintended actions, unsafe outputs, data leakage and exposure risks.
• Design and implement guardrails and validation layers for AI-generated actions.
• Ensure AI systems safely handle untrusted inputs from IVRs, web systems, APIs, and human interactions.
• Monitor AI system behavior for anomalies, abuse attempts, or unsafe decision-making.
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure AI systems are observable, auditable, bounded, and fail safely.
• Help define operational and technical controls for responsible AI deployment.
• Improve and maintain security monitoring, alerting, logging, and incident response capabilities.
