Job description

Role & responsibilities

• Design and build secure, multi-account AWS foundations using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation), delivering reusable secure-by-default patterns rather than one-off configurations.
• Stand up and govern multi-account structure with AWS Organizations, Control Tower or Landing Zone Accelerator, SCPs, and resource control policies (RCPs), enforcing guardrails through policy rather than manual review.
• Implement least-privilege identity with IAM Identity Center, permission sets, IAM roles and policies, service-linked roles, and permission boundaries.
• Implement centralized SSO using AWS IAM Identity Center for AWS access, including identity source integration and permission set assignment across accounts.
• Implement workload identity federation and CI/CD OIDC (GitHub Actions OIDC) to eliminate long-lived cloud credentials in favor of short-lived, federated access.
• Design and implement network security: VPC architecture, segmentation, security groups, NACLs, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway, and traffic controls.
• Implement encryption defaults, key management, secrets management, and customer-managed keys where business, regulatory, or data classification requirements justify them (KMS, Secrets Manager, rotation).
• Configure logging and detection: onboard CloudTrail, Config, and VPC Flow Logs; configure GuardDuty and Security Hub controls, aggregate findings, route alerts, and drive remediation.
• Automate remediation using EventBridge and Lambda so common misconfigurations self-heal or open tracked tickets.
• Own findings end to end: triage, ownership mapping, exception governance, remediation tracking, and evidence collection.
• Integrate cloud security logs and findings with SIEM/SOAR platforms and support detection, triage, and remediation workflows.
• Produce production-readiness artifacts: runbooks, rollback plans, monitoring, exception handling, and change management.

Preferred candidate profile

• AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or AWS Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional). CISSP or CCSP as optional pluses.
• CNAPP / CSPM / CIEM tooling (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub, or equivalent) with finding triage and remediation ownership.
• Additional AWS security services: Macie, Detective, AWS Network Firewall, WAF, Shield, Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall, and ECR image scanning.
• Container and Kubernetes security: EKS security posture, image scanning, admission controls, workload identity, network policies, runtime visibility, and secrets management.
• Policy-as-code: OPA/Rego, SCPs/RCPs, and CI/CD policy gates with exception workflows.
• SIEM/SOAR integration (Splunk, Datadog, Sentinel, Chronicle, or equivalent).
• Exposure to a second cloud (Azure or GCP) and multi-cloud security patterns.
• Experience with AWS GovCloud and CMMC / NIST SP 800-171 delivery.
• Understanding of different compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI, etc.) and ability to regulate infrastructure deployment in line with those compliance requirements.
