Design and secure cloud-based workloads
Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines
Partner with IT Risk, Cloud Security, and Engineering teams
Support incident response for cloud-related threats
Develop security standards, runbooks, and architecture documentation
Support audits and regulatory compliance activities

What you will have:

3+ years of experience in cloud security, application security, or a combination of both
Hands-on experience securing cloud-native infrastructure and applications
Experience with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
Understanding of cloud architecture concepts (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) and the ability to apply security principles across cloud environments
Familiarity with OWASP (including guidance for cloud-native applications) and NIST frameworks
Experience in regulated environments (financial services or FINRA preferred)
Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with AWS, Azure, or other major cloud platforms
Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, CISSP, or CCSP
Experience with SAST/DAST tools
Exposure to cloud governance and risk frameworks
Familiarity with cloud-specific threats such as misconfiguration, data exfiltration, and identity/access compromise
