• Monitor risk exposure and provide recommendations aligned with business risk tolerance levels.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

• Secure cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and hybrid infrastructures.
• Implement identity and access management (IAM), network security, encryption, and cloud governance controls.
• Review and enhance cloud security configurations and deployment architectures.
• Support container and Kubernetes security initiatives.
• Collaborate on security requirements for third‑party vendors, integrations, and outsourced technology solutions.

Security Automation & Monitoring

• Automate security testing, compliance checks, and vulnerability scanning processes.
• Implement and maintain security monitoring and alerting solutions.
• Support incident detection, response, and remediation activities.
• Improve security operations through automation and workflow optimization.
• Develop security dashboards, reporting mechanisms, and compliance monitoring processes.

Compliance, Governance & Documentation

• Develop and maintain security policies, standards, procedures, and operational documentation.
• Support compliance initiatives related to industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Document security findings, risk assessments, and remediation plans.
• Participate in internal and external security audits.
• Advocate for continuous security improvement across the organization.

Security Awareness & Leadership

• Provide security awareness training and guidance to engineering and business teams.
• Mentor developers and operations teams on secure development and deployment practices.
• Stay informed on emerging cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies.
• Act as a security advisor for business initiatives and technology projects.
• Escalate critical security concerns and risks to leadership when necessary.

Required Skills

Security & DevSecOps Expertise

• Strong experience implementing DevSecOps principles and secure software delivery practices.
• Deep understanding of application security, infrastructure security, and cloud security concepts.
• Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and development environments.
• Knowledge of secure coding standards, software security testing, and vulnerability management.
