Review code of highly critical services to support important product launches, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Enhance our cloud-native threat detection capabilities and automate security processes using scripting and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.

Provide support during incident response and collaborate with development and operations teams to ensure security is a shared responsibility, promoting a culture of adaptability and continuous learning.

Requirements :

University degree in Engineering Disciplines preferred.

Experience in developing Application Security programs or Defensive Information Security capabilities (e.g., SOC, SIEM, log analysis, incident response).

Experience in Cloud-native environments.

Skill in integrating security practices into CI / CD pipelines and automating processes with scripting.
