• Assist with implementing serverless technologies where applicable while maintaining strong security posture.
• Investigate and remediate cloud security risks by developing scalable code-based solutions.
• Drive IaC governance by helping shape best practices and processes around CDK usage across engineering teams.
• Document project workflows, infrastructure designs, and security policies to ensure knowledge sharing and maintainability across teams.
• Create and maintain technical documentation for cloud security projects, including architecture diagrams, implementation steps, and ongoing updates.
• Utilize working knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI agents to support the design and implementation of automation solutions that enhance business processes and operational efficiency.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years of professional experience in cloud security or infrastructure engineering, required.
• Experience supporting or leading security-first Infrastructure as Code (IaC) initiatives in an enterprise environment, required.
• Minimum of 2–3 years of hands-on experience designing and deploying infrastructure using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit), required.
• Proficiency in TypeScript for CDK development and Python for automation tooling, required.
• Strong experience with AWS serverless services such as Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, and DynamoDB, preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to build reusable CDK constructs and modules that scale across environments, required.
• Familiarity with Terraform, preferred.
• Deep expertise in AWS CDK and its use in codifying infrastructure and security policies.
• Strong understanding of cloud security concepts, particularly within AWS environments.
• Ability to translate security requirements into scalable, reusable code-based solutions.

• Ability to work independently and drive cross-team security initiatives through code.
