Responsibilities
Continuously monitor and triage alerts from SIEM, CSPM, CWPP, and cloud security tools - identifying what's a real threat, what needs immediate action, and what requires deeper investigation
Serve as primary responder for cloud security incidents, leading investigation efforts from initial detection through containment, eradication, and recovery while keeping stakeholders informed throughout
Proactively hunt for threats across security log feeds, perform root cause analysis on vulnerabilities and incidents, and stay ahead of emerging attack patterns using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK
Build and refine security alerts and dashboards that catch the signals that matter - reducing noise while ensuring critical issues surface quickly and clearly
Conduct security reviews and penetration testing across cloud infrastructure, identifying weaknesses before attackers do and validating that our defenses actually work
Partner closely with IT, engineering, and development teams to ensure security findings are understood, prioritized appropriately, and remediated with solid engineering principles—not just quick fixes
Qualification
Required
2+ years of hands-on experience in cloud security, information security operations, or similar roles where you've monitored alerts, investigated incidents, and worked within AWS and/or Azure environments
Practical cloud security knowledge with demonstrated ability to navigate cloud environments, understand misconfigurations, and think like an attacker to anticipate where vulnerabilities hide
Builder mindset with AI-assisted development skills - you actively leverage AI tools to write scripts, automate repetitive tasks, and solve your own problems rather than waiting for someone else to build solutions for you
Security operations foundation - you understand how to triage alerts, distinguish true positives from noise, investigate incidents methodically, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Strong organizational skills and time management - you can juggle multiple security investigations simultaneously, prioritize what needs attention now versus what can wait, and keep track of incidents through resolution without dropping details
Some experience with offensive security - you know your way around infosec testing tools, understand OWASP Top 10, can think through how attackers exploit cloud environments, and have some exposure to penetration testing concepts
Comfort across technical domains - basic scripting ability, Linux command line navigation, understanding of application concepts (APIs, containers, databases), and some experience working with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation
Preferred
Cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, or similar professional credentials that validate your expertise)
Bachelor's degree in information security, information systems, computer science, or related technical field
Experience with MITRE ATT&CK Framework in practical incident response scenarios where you've mapped adversary techniques to actual alerts
Background deploying security tooling as code - building alerts, automation, or security solutions using proper engineering principles that others can actually use and maintain
