Job Description

Reporting to the Global Head of Security under Product Security, the Cloud Security Analyst plays a crucial role in shaping our Cloud Security program, ensuring the highest level of security for our Product and Development teams.

As a Cloud Security Analyst you will be working to improve the security of Alter Domus' cloud environments as part of the cloud security team. The team has strong independence to plan, drive and develop security improvements and controls. You will have autonomy and are expected to think independently and take ownership of your work while having strong communication skills.

You will be responsible for developing and implementing security strategies and solutions to protect cloud‑based applications and data. This role requires a deep understanding of cloud technologies, security protocols, and best practices to safeguard sensitive information and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

To be successful in this role you should also have experience in containerized environments and experience ensuring SOC 2 compliance for the cloud environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement security controls across AWS and Azure environments.
• Continuously enhance our cloud security posture management (CSPM) program to identify and remediate risks in configurations and policies.
• Ensure SOC 2 cloud security controls are always executed and auditable.
• Monitor security for containerized applications and Kubernetes clusters, contributing to best practices for container image security, pod security policies, and cluster network segmentation to protect our microservices.
• Ensure cloud systems and solutions are secure by design, championing a secure guardrails approach – automating security checks and educating teams to build secure systems from the ground up.
• Conduct continuous vulnerability and compliance validation to ensure ongoing adherence to security policies and regulations.
• Monitor cloud environments for security incidents and ensure rapid response through automated mechanisms.
• Serve as subject matter expert on cloud technologies and security solutions.
• Perform technical security design, architecture, change, and/or configuration audits and reviews on our hosting environments, including Azure & AWS, servers, network devices, endpoints, and security technologies deployed (CNAPP, MDM, WAF, DDoS, etc.).
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams – developers, cloud engineers, architects and operations – to embed security in critical initiatives including API security.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and knowledge sharing across the organization, staying updated on the latest cloud security threats and advancements.

Profile

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information security, or related professional experience.
• 3+ years of experience in cloud security.
• 1+ year of hands‑on experience working with containerized environments.
• Excellent understanding of Azure, AWS and Kubernetes.
• Experience working with cloud security posture management tooling.
• Hands‑on experience on threat modeling and security architecture reviews.
• Hands‑on experience working with compliance requirements and translating them into technical controls.
• Ability to implement and manage security controls in cloud environments.
• Knowledge of cloud security best practices and industry standards.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to think critically and make data‑driven decisions.
• Excellent documentation skills, including the creation of procedures, process documentation, and user documentation.
• Preferred certifications: Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) and AWS Certified Security – Specialty.
• Proficiency in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and security tools and technologies (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption).
• Strong understanding of cloud security principles, risk management and compliance frameworks.
• Soft skills:
  • Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.
  • Attention to detail and a solutions‑oriented mindset.
  • Excellent organizational skills, able to work under pressure on multiple projects and meet deadlines.
  • Self‑motivated, with the ability to complete projects with minimal supervision.
  • Rapidly evaluate, research, learn and apply advanced and emerging data security principles, theories and concepts.
  • Positive attitude, proactive problem‑identification and problem‑solving skills.
  • Strong interpersonal and time‑management skills, able to collaborate across a geographically distributed organization.
