• Strong technical knowledge of network, host, application, and cloud security controls and architectures (e.g., IAM, WAF, SIEM, EDR, CASB, cloud-native security services).

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and securing cloud-native workloads, infrastructure-as-code, and containerized environments.

• Familiarity with security standards and frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and practical experience implementing controls to meet audit requirements.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a data-driven approach to measuring and improving security posture.
