• Design, develop, and maintain secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform, CloudFormation, and policy-as-code frameworks to automate cloud provisioning and enforce security guardrails.
• Develop and maintain cloud governance frameworks, security baselines, guardrails, and landing zones across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
• Design and implement cloud-native logging, monitoring, and detection capabilities by integrating services such as AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Cloud Logging, and cloud-native security tools into centralized SIEM and SOC platforms to improve threat detection, incident response, and operational visibility.
• Collaborate with Application Security, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Application Development teams to embed security throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) by integrating automated security testing, Infrastructure as Code scanning, secrets management, dependency analysis, and container security into CI/CD pipelines.
• Design and implement security controls for containerized, Kubernetes, serverless, and cloud-native application environments, ensuring secure deployment, runtime protection, and policy enforcement.
• Partner with Security Operations (SOC) and Incident Response (IR) teams to investigate, analyze, and respond to cloud security incidents, perform forensic analysis, root cause investigations, and threat hunting, and implement corrective and preventive security controls to enhance cloud security posture, detection capabilities, and operational resilience.
• Lead cloud security architecture reviews for cloud-native platforms, Kubernetes environments, managed cloud services, APIs, AI services, and enterprise applications, ensuring alignment with enterprise security standards, regulatory requirements, and secure‑by‑design principles.
• Conduct threat modeling and cloud security risk assessments to identify security threats, design appropriate mitigations, and validate security controls for new cloud solutions, services, and architectures.
• Evaluate emerging cloud, AI, and cybersecurity technologies to drive continuous improvement, automation, innovation, and operational efficiency across cloud security capabilities.
• Design and implement security controls for cloud-native AI and machine learning services, including Generative AI, LLM integrations, AI orchestration platforms, and AI development pipelines, ensuring secure access, data protection, governance, and regulatory compliance.
• Partner with Data Engineering, AI, and Platform Engineering teams to secure enterprise AI platforms (e.g., Databricks), AI workflows, and AI automation solutions while evaluating emerging AI technologies to drive innovation, automation, and continuous improvement.
