• Research and recommend new security technologies and tools.
• Provide security expertise and guidance to development and operations teams.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on cloud security.
• Proven experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their security services.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java.
• Experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and their security implications.
• Deep understanding of network security, identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and data security.
• Familiarity with security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001) and compliance requirements.
• Experience with security tools for vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and SIEM.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, collaborative team environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the security landscape of a cutting-edge cloud technology company from the ground up.
