This role requires a combination of technical skills, problem-solving aptitude, and cybersecurity expertise.

About the team

The Cloud Security and Emerging Technologies team is responsible for securing the organization's multi-cloud environments while enabling the safe adoption of new cloud capabilities and technologies.

  • Strong proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code and automation tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Bicep and Ansible.

  • Hands-on experience integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as Github Actions, Jenkins, Gitlab or similar tooling.

  • Proficiency with version control systems such as Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket or similar systems, including branching strategies, pull request workflows, and collaborative development practices.

  • Experience implementing and managing policy-as-code and preventative guardrails using cloud-native or third-party frameworks (e.g., AWS SCPs, Azure Policy, and OPA).

  • Knowledge across multiple security domains, including DevSecOps, Cloud infrastructure security, container security, identity and access management, vulnerability management and threat detection.

  • Experience with managing cloud security platforms and tooling (e.g., CNAPP), and operationalizing security controls at scale.
