• Monitor security dashboards for alerts; analyze, document, and escalate events as needed for further investigation and remediation.
• Support the implementation and maintenance of security controls, including vulnerability management, endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, and encryption technologies.
• Assist in onboarding and off-boarding processes to ensure proper access controls and compliance.
• Contribute to developing, reviewing, and communicating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for security operations.
• Influence internal teams and coach others on security policies and internal compliance frameworks.

We're looking for candidates who have:

• Experience in security operations, InfoSec or product security engineering
• Familiarity with securing AWS cloud services
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform
• Familiarity with deploying and operating Kubernetes such as AWS EKS.
• Strong understanding of incident management, ticket response, and security operations best practices.
• Experience using ticketing systems and operational tools such as JIRA or Atlassian suite.
• Excellent communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users.
• Strong commitment to confidentiality and compliance with security policies and regulations.
• Ability to foster collaboration and partnerships across teams outside of Security Engineering

Nice to have experience:

• Experience in regulated or compliance-driven environments (e.g. government compliance).
