- Proficiency with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, or CloudFormation.
- Strong Python and shell scripting skills for security automation, detection rule development, and tooling integration.
- Must be a US Citizen or legal permanent resident.

- Experience with cloud-native SIEM solutions, including writing detection rules in Python or SQL.
- Experience securing microservices architectures, including service mesh security (Istio or Linkerd).
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
What you get

Worth weighing
- No specific mention of remote work options, though the role is hybrid.
- The role emphasizes proactive threat detection and fixing issues rather than maintenance of legacy systems, which may appeal to candidates looking for a dynamic environment.
- The job requires a strong focus on AWS, which may limit candidates with experience primarily in other cloud platforms unless they are willing to learn AWS.
