In this role, you will play a key part in implementing and maintaining robust security measures for critical cloud systems and services across a variety of industries. You will contribute your expertise to hands-on technical tasks as well as strategic initiatives related to cloud security architecture, monitoring, and risk mitigation.

• Implement technical security controls: Take ownership of security-related tasks, including the design, configuration, and deployment of technical controls in complex cloud infrastructures (primarily Microsoft Azure) to protect networks, applications, and data.

• Identify and remediate vulnerabilities: Detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in cloud architectures (leveraging Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) tools) and drive the implementation of effective remediation strategies.

• Lead and execute cloud security assessments: Conduct risk and maturity assessments for cloud environments based on established frameworks such as ISO 27XXX, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and CIS Benchmarks, providing clear recommendations for improvement.

• Enhance monitoring and incident response: Design and implement cloud-specific security measures and detection capabilities – including integration of cloud logs and services with SIEM solutions (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel) – in close collaboration with SOC and monitoring teams to improve threat detection and response.

• Documentation and compliance support: Develop and maintain technical documentation and high-quality reports to support clients’ cloud compliance and security objectives, ensuring adherence to standards like ISO and CIS Benchmarks.

• Continuous improvement: Contribute to the continuous improvement of internal methodologies, tools, and processes related to cloud security services, staying up-to-date with emerging threats and new cloud security technologies.
  

We believe you have the following qualifications and personality skills:  

• Cloud platform experience: Hands-on experience with cloud environments (especially Microsoft Azure), including architecture design, service integration, and lifecycle management of cloud services.

• Cloud security expertise: Strong understanding of cloud security principles and best practices, and their role in protecting critical systems and sensitive data in the cloud.

• Enterprise and hybrid experience: Proven experience with enterprise cloud security architecture and operations, including addressing challenges related to hybrid cloud integration, network security, identity and access management, and governance.

• Standards and frameworks knowledge: In-depth knowledge of relevant security standards and frameworks such as ISO, NIST CSF, and CIS Benchmarks (and other relevant cloud security standards); experience applying these in real-world projects is a strong advantage.

• Security tools proficiency: Experience with cloud-native security and monitoring tools – for example, CSPM solutions, CNAPP platforms, and SIEM/SOAR integrations – and using them to secure and monitor Azure cloud environments.
