Junior Cloud Security Analyst

Do you have experience in Identity & access management?, Develop and enforce enterprise-wide security policies using Terraform, etc. , ensuring that non-compliant infrastructure is automatically remediated or blocked from deployment. Cloud Posture Management: Design and oversee the integration of CNAPP and CSPM tools to provide real-time visibility into misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and excessive permissions. Threat Modeling & Resilience: Conduct deep-dive threat modeling for complex cloud-native systems, simulating advanced persistent threats (APTs) and “blast radius” scenarios to strengthen system resilience. Security Consultancy: Act as the lead security advisor for the Cloud Architecture team, bridging the gap between DevOps agility and rigorous regulatory compliance (SOC2). Technical Qualifications Category Requirements Security Platforms Mastery of cloud-native security suites (e.g., AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender, Google Cloud Platform Security Command Center ). Identity & Access Expert knowledge of Identity-First Security , including CIEM, Just-In-Time (JIT) access, and complex OIDC/SAML flows. Automation Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash to build custom security automations and integrate with SOAR platforms. DevSecOps Deep experience embedding automated security testing (SAST/DAST/SCA) directly into CI/CD pipelines. Cloud Networking Advanced understanding of secure connectivity, including SD-WAN, Cloud WAF, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) . Preferred Experience Experience: 12+ years in Cybersecurity, with at least 6 years focused on architecting secure cloud environments at scale. Certifications: Top-tier credentials. Education: Advanced degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related engineering field. Soft Skills: Strong ability to bridge the gap between “Speed of DevOps” and “Rigors of Security” while communicating clearly with executive leadership Leadership: Proven ability to influence technical roadmaps and present security risks clearly to C-suite stakeholders. Core Objectives Zero Standing Privilege: Help Transition the organization to a “Zero Standing Privilege” model for all production environments. Automated Compliance: Help Achieve automated auditing for core compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS Benchmarks). Mean Time to Detect (MTTD): Utilize AI-driven monitoring to reduce the detection time of anomalous cloud activity to minimum
