What You'll Do:

Product-Focused Incident Response:

• Monitor, analyze, and investigate security alerts originating from our AWS infrastructure, application logs, and security tooling (WAF, SIEM, Cloud-Native tools).

• Triage vulnerabilities reported through our bug bounty program and other external sources.

Security Engineering & Automation:

• Build and maintain security monitoring and alerting capabilities within our production environment.
• Automate security operations tasks using scripting languages like Python or Go to improve our detection and response times.
• Configure, tune, and help manage security tools like our Web Application Firewall (WAF), AWS GuardDuty, and Security Hub.

Vulnerability Management & Collaboration:

• Operationalize findings from application security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) by working with engineering teams to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities in our codebase and dependencies.
• Conduct threat modeling for new features to identify and mitigate risks before they reach production.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and provide guidance on secure coding practices and architecture.

Skills & Experience:

• AWS Security Operations: Hands-on experience securing a production environment in AWS. You must be comfortable with its core security services (e.g., GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, CloudTrail).
• AWS Cloud Infrastructure: A good understanding of core AWS services beyond just security tools (e.g., VPC networking, EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, EKS). You must be capable of understanding and spinning up a full infrastructure stack to effectively secure it.
• Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency with Terraform for managing and securing cloud infrastructure. You should be able to read, write, and review Terraform code, ensuring that the infrastructure you define is secure by design.
• Incident Response: Proven experience with the full lifecycle of security incidents, from initial detection and analysis to containment, remediation, and post-mortem.
• Scripting for Automation: Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Go, Bash) to automate security operations and analysis tasks.
• Application Security Fundamentals: A solid understanding of common web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) and how to defend against them.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to improve efficiency, quality, and decision-making in day-to-day work.
• Proven ability to operate effectively with aglobal-first mindset.
