About The Position

Our Security Team is a dynamic blend of proactive defenders and inquisitive problem-solvers. We're dedicated to fortifying our cloud infrastructure (GCP and AWS) through rigorous security reviews, threat modeling, and automated controls. We actively manage our cloud security posture, ensuring swift response and remediation to identified risks. We leverage cutting-edge tools like DataDog for cloud security monitoring and Terraform for secure Infrastructure as Code. Collaboration is key, as we embed security best practices throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. We are constantly researching emerging cloud threats, crafting effective mitigation strategies, and empowering our engineering teams with comprehensive training. We maintain up-to-date cloud security standards, baseline, implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access controls, and will establish and lead our cloud incident management process.

You have extensive experience in Cloud Security, with deep expertise in GCP and AWS.
You possess a strong understanding of Threat Modelling principles and their application to cloud infrastructure and architectural designs.
You have hands-on experience with cloud security tools and technologies, including DataDog for security monitoring and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code.
You have proven experience in designing, implementing, and managing cloud security controls and configurations.
You have experience with Identity and Access Management (IAM) in cloud environments, including the implementation and management of Just-in-Time (JIT) access solutions.
You have a proven ability to establish and manage incident response programs specifically for cloud environments.
