• Implement, and operate cloud vulnerability management processes across compute, container, serverless, and platform services.
• Leverage and manage CSPM/CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud) to identify misconfigurations, prioritize risk, and drive remediation efforts with engineering teams.
• Develop automation and security tooling using Python (preferred) or similar scripting languages to improve detection, remediation, and reporting capabilities.
• Partner with engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
• Review and harden GCP configurations, including IAM, networking, logging, storage, and container environments.
• Support security assessments of AI/ML workloads and cloud-native data platforms; contribute to proof-of-concept initiatives related to AI/ML security where applicable.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to remediate vulnerabilities identified through CSPM tools, scanners, and cloud-native security services.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of cloud security standards, configuration baselines, and operational documentation.
• Support multi-cloud security initiatives, including AWS and Azure environments where required.

Qualifications & Experience:

• 3+ years of experience in Cloud Security, Cloud Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience securing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments in production.

• Strong knowledge and practical experience in Cloud Vulnerability Management, including vulnerability identification, prioritization, risk assessment, and remediation coordination across cloud workloads and services.

• Experience with at least one CSPM/CNAPP platform (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, Lacework, or equivalent).

• Proficiency in Python (preferred) or similar programming/scripting languages, with experience developing automation or security tooling.

• Strong understanding of cloud IAM concepts, least-privilege access, and identity governance in GCP.

• Understanding of cloud networking fundamentals, including VPC design, routing, segmentation, and secure connectivity patterns.

• Experience securing containerized workloads and Kubernetes environments.

• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) and secure configuration management practices.

• Strong understanding of security principles, risk management, and compliance considerations in public cloud environments.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and security stakeholders.

The Nice to Haves

• Cloud security certifications such as:
  • GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer
  • AWS Security Specialty or Solutions Architect
  • Azure Security Engineer or Solutions Architect
• Experience with AI/ML platforms and securing machine learning workloads; prior proof-of-concept or project experience is a plus.
• Knowledge of AWS and/or Azure security services and architecture.
• Familiarity with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
• Experience integrating security tooling with platforms such as Slack, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with SIEM and observability platforms (e.g., Splunk).
