Job description

  • Research, innovate, and develop cutting-edge detection mechanisms, advanced algorithms, and automated solutions to precisely identify and categorize technologies within complex cloud environments.
  • Conduct deep-dive analysis of CSP APIs (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and log payloads (CloudTrail, Flow Logs) to map out potential attack surfaces.
  • Partner with our world-class Research and Backend teams to turn "proof-of-concepts" into scalable, production-ready security scans.
  • Continuously update knowledge and skills to stay abreast of the latest technologies and emerging trends in the industry.
  • Implement customer requests and industry-standard practices to establish Wiz as a market leader in cloud security.

Requirements

  • Advanced proficiency in Python and Go coding.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and the underlying OS (Linux/Windows internals, Bash, PowerShell).
  • Solid understanding of the OSI model, networking (VPC peering, Subnets, IAM), and cybersecurity frameworks.
  • Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI/GitHub Actions).
  • A proven ability to look at a cloud service and ask, "How could this be misconfigured or exploited?"
  • The ability to explain complex technical risks to both engineers and product stakeholders.
  • Self-motivated and capable of working both independently and collaboratively within a team.
  • Strong communication skills.
