Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in cloud security, with a strong focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — you've developed and implemented security controls that protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry standards.

You are a bold thinker who is not afraid to challenge the status quo and propose innovative solutions to complex security issues.

Desirable

Experience with security frameworks and compliance standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, or CIS benchmarks would be a plus — you understand the importance of aligning security practices with regulatory requirements. Familiarity with automation tools and scripting languages to enhance security processes is also desirable. You are a team player who enjoys collaborating with cross-functional teams to foster a culture of security awareness and best practices throughout the organization.
