• Act as a subject matter expert on cloud security within engineering, providing guidance during design reviews and threat modelling sessions.
• Harden Kubernetes environments and enforce secure cluster configurations.
• Secure and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code, with a focus on Terraform.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in cloud security, with deep expertise in AWS.
• Strong background in secure infrastructure design, cloud-native security controls, and automation.
• In-depth understanding of Kubernetes, service meshes, API gateways, and secure API design.
