- Continuously enhance security monitoring, automation, and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or Bash) to improve operational efficiency and visibility.
- 7–10 years of experience in cloud security engineering with strong hands-on exposure to multi-cloud environments (Azure, GCP, AWS).
- Deep experience managing cloud security operations, including SIEM platforms, alert triage, detection engineering, and incident response workflows.
- Strong knowledge of identity and access management (IAM), network security, firewall/WAF configurations, and SaaS security principles.
- Proven ability to design and secure cloud infrastructures, with practical experience in Entra ID, Azure security services, or GCP equivalents.
- Solid understanding of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and related governance standards.
- Experience writing scripts in PowerShell, Python, or Bash for automation, alerting, or security operations improvements.
