  • Deploy, fine-tune, and manage SIEM solutions for advanced threat detection and response.
  • Lead incident response efforts, including forensic investigations, root cause analysis, and remediation strategies.
  • Ensure compliance with industry security frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001) and align security initiatives with regulatory requirements.
  • Automate security operations, monitoring, and threat detection using Python and cloud-native tools.


Key Qualifications & Experience

  • 8 years of experience in enterprise security, with a focus on cloud security and AWS environments.
  • Deep expertise in AWS security services (EC2, ECS, IAM, WAF, VPC) and cloud-native security solutions.
  • Strong background in vulnerability management, intrusion detection, SIEM, and database security.
  • Hands-on experience with penetration testing, threat modeling, and SDLC security best practices.
  • Proficiency in Python for automation and security tooling.
