Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • As the Lead Cloud Security Engineer, you will be the cloud subject-matter expert working alongside our Security Operations Center.
- • You will build and automate the cloud security health checks that let us assess customer environments and turn those findings into clear remediation guidance.
- • Additionally, you will ensure our analysts have what they need to effectively investigate and respond to cloud incidents.
- • The role has two aims: improve our existing cloud detection and response capabilities, and help customers manage attack surface and blast radius by improving their cloud security posture.
- • You will build and automate cloud security health checks. Develop repeatable checks across AWS, GCP, and Azure that surface misconfigurations, identity and access issues, and exposure consistently across customer environments.
- • Turn findings into guidance. Translate health-check and assessment results into prioritized, practical remediation recommendations and best-practice guidance customers can act on.
- • Strengthen cloud investigation and response. Work with the SOC to keep detection coverage, runbooks, and response procedures for cloud incidents accurate and current.
- • Support analysts on cloud incidents. Serve as the escalation point and subject-matter expert for cloud-specific detections and investigations across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- • Define cloud detection use-cases. Identify the cloud threats, techniques, and misconfigurations that warrant detection, and translate them into clear requirements for Detection Engineering to build against real customer telemetry.
- • Advise customers directly. Act as a senior technical contact for customer cloud security questions, assessments, and posture improvement, including work with CNAPP/CSPM tooling such as Wiz.
🎯 Requirements
- • 7+ years in cloud security with deep hands-on experience across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- • Hands-on experience with CNAPP/CSPM tooling (Wiz or comparable) for posture assessment, and a strong grasp of cloud misconfigurations and identity and access risks.
- • Working knowledge of cloud attack techniques and how they appear in logs and telemetry, with experience supporting or running cloud incident investigations.
- • Ability to automate checks and workflows through scripting and APIs, and to communicate findings clearly to both analysts and customers.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Own cloud security across our MDR operations, working directly with the SOC to improve how we detect and respond to cloud threats and how customers strengthen their own cloud posture.
- • Collaborate with a talented and innovative team focused on continuously improving security operations.
- • Competitive salary and benefits package.
- • A culture of growth and development, with opportunities to expand your knowledge in AI, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies.
