- Automation: Develop scripts (Python, Go, Bash) to automate security checks and repetitive monitoring tasks.
- Compliance & Governance: Ensure our systems align with industry standards such as SOC2, ISO 27001, or GDPR.
- Security Culture: Mentor engineering teams on secure coding practices and lead internal âwargamingâ or security awareness sessions.
Requirements
- Technical Foundations: Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking, cryptography, and operating system internals (Linux/Windows).
- Cloud Security: Hands-on experience securing AWS, Azure, or GCP environments (including IAM, VPCs, and GuardDuty).
