  • Analyze and respond to complex security events using SIEM tools, providing expert-level insights.
  • Drive AWS cloud security initiatives, including configuration reviews, compliance checks, and threat modeling.
  • Implement and manage enterprise-level SSO and MFA solutions.
  • Develop and maintain scripts to automate security operations and incident response processes.
  • Optimize email security configurations, including Microsoft Defender and other advanced threat protection tools.
  • Lead end-user security awareness programs and training initiatives.
  • Manage Active Directory domain security, Group Policy, and integration with cloud identity providers.
  • Oversee DNS and certificate management with a focus on secure configurations.
  • Design and monitor firewall rules and network segmentation strategies.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to align security strategies with business objectives.
  • Take ownership of complex security projects and work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Mentor junior security staff and foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • 5–10 years of experience in cybersecurity roles with a focus on cloud security.
  • Expertise in AWS cloud security including IAM, VPC, security groups, and compliance frameworks.
  • Proficiency with endpoint protection and SIEM tools.
  • Hands-on experience with Entra, Okta, Active Directory, and Group Policy.
  • Advanced scripting skills in PowerShell, Python, or similar languages.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Proven ability to manage complex security projects and mentor team members.
  • Continuous learning mindset with a track record of adopting new technologies and practices.
  • Compensation :
