• Automate system configurations using tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.
• Collaborate with teams to ensure seamless integration of infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines.
• Assist in translating high-level security requirements into practical policy as code implementation within cloud and on-premises environments.
• Review vulnerability reports submitted by external users
• Participate in gathering evidence for our audits
• Support the implementation and scaling of automated security controls in Kubernetes, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and operating systems.x5
• Stay updated on infrastructure management and automation trends, ensuring a robust and scalable system foundation

Required qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.

• Previous exposure to cloud-native security tools and services.
• Relevant certifications in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• A keen interest in learning about security best practices, frameworks, and tools.

Application Process

As part of your application, please share links to your GitHub/GitLab repositories or a portfolio of projects that demonstrate your experience with security policy implementation, policy as code, and relevant cloud security tools. We're particularly interested in seeing examples that showcase your ability to translate complex security requirements into executable code for cloud environments.

If you're passionate about enhancing cloud security through code, implementing scalable and automated security policies across cloud platforms, participating in collaborative security design processes, and staying at the forefront of cloud security best practices, we'd love to hear from you!
