Role summary

Hands-on security automation for AWS delivery. Build secure-by-default CDK constructs and CloudFormation templates, wire them into CI/CD, and enforce compliance checks that map to CJIS and NIST. Azure support is a future consideration, not a core day-one duty.

Scope boundaries

Does not own enterprise AWS Organizations or SCP operations.

Designs and builds reference guardrails and enforcement patterns that can be deployed by enterprise teams. 

Focuses on preventive controls and compliance automation, not incident response. 

What you will deliver

First 90 days

1.       Pipeline security templates in GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps with SAST, SCA, IaC, container, and secret scanning gates. 

2.       Compliance as code in reference accounts: AWS Config rules and Security Hub standards aligned to CJIS and NIST 800-53, with exceptions workflow documented. 

3.       IaC reference modules using AWS CDK and CloudFormation for IAM least privilege, KMS, Secrets Manager, logging, and network baselines; Terraform equivalents provided where teams require them. 

4.       Evidence exports tying checks to control IDs and producing auditor-ready artifacts. 

Ongoing

·         Harden CDK/CFT modules and pipeline templates as compliance needs evolve.

·         Coach pilot teams to adopt templates.

·         Raise gaps to enterprise teams for org-level enforcement.

Day-to-day responsibilities

·         Author and maintain AWS CDK constructs and CloudFormation templates; provide Terraform versions as secondary. 

·         Implement AWS Config conformance, Security Hub standards, and GuardDuty routing in reference accounts.

·         Wire scanning in CI/CD for app code, containers, and IaC.

·         Create reusable GitHub/Azure DevOps templates with enforcement gates and exception handling.

·         Generate posture and evidence reports mapped to CJIS and NIST controls.

Required skills

·         5+ years AWS security automation and DevOps.

·         Strong with AWS CDK and CloudFormation; working proficiency in Terraform. 

·         CI/CD authoring in GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. 

·         Proficient in Python and Bash, with PowerShell for Windows automation. 

·         Able to read Java and C# to integrate and tune SAST/SCA. 

·         Practical knowledge of CJIS and NIST 800-53 control families and how to automate checks and evidence. 

Nice to have

·         EKS/ECS/Lambda hardening patterns.

·         OPA/Conftest, Checkov, Trivy, Inspector, CodeQL or equivalent.

·         Basic Azure security automation for future phases.

Decision rights

Independent on design and build within standards; proposes guardrails and reference patterns; escalates enterprise-wide changes.

The successful candidate may have to undergo a drug test and background check.
