This is an individual contributor role for someone early in their security career, with growth into cloud security operations and compliance in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in security operations, IT operations, data security, privacy or compliance support; internships and graduate programmes count.
• Working knowledge of common security operations tasks: alert monitoring, vulnerability management, access and entitlement review, log review, and incident documentation.

• Clear written and verbal communication in English; Arabic is a plus.
• Detail-oriented, comfortable working with process, documentation and cross-team coordination. Entry-level certifications (Security+, CC, ISO 27001 Foundation) are a plus, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Execute and maintain the security operations processes, procedures and checklists defined by Tencent Cloud's security and compliance teams; track tasks and tickets through to closure.
• Monitor security alerts, vulnerabilities and risk items; perform initial triage, escalate to the appropriate owners, and keep risk and issue trackers accurate and up to date.
• Support incident response activities under guidance - collect and preserve evidence, maintain incident timelines, coordinate with responders, and draft incident reports and post-incident summaries.
• Assist with the periodic review and upkeep of cybersecurity and privacy policies, procedures, guidelines and compliance evidence, so that documentation stays current and audit-ready.
• Prepare regular operational reports and dashboards on security posture, open risks, remediation progress and compliance status for internal stakeholders.
