About the role

  • Architect, deploy, and maintain secure network and system infrastructure across AWS, corporate, and hybrid environments, data centers.
  • Implement and manage Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) frameworks, leveraging tools such as Cato for secure access, segmentation, and traffic control.
  • Lead configuration and hardening of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), SSO, and Intune to establish robust identity, device, and access management policies.
  • Oversee and continuously enhance system, application, and network security controls, including intrusion detection, endpoint protection, and vulnerability management.
  • Automate security monitoring, compliance checks, and remediation workflows
  • Integrate security controls into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code pipelines to ensure consistent enforcement and auditability.
  • Conduct regular risk assessments, security audits, and incident response exercises.
  • Develop and enforce security baselines, policies, and monitoring for both cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in network, system, identity, and datacenter security, with hands-on experience securing enterprise-grade or high-scale hybrid environments
  • Strong practical experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including SSO, Conditional Access, MFA, and identity lifecycle management, as well as Microsoft Intune for endpoint management

  • Experience leading or participating in security incident response, including investigation, containment, root-cause analysis, and post-incident improvements
  • Ability to perform threat modeling, risk assessment, and security architecture reviews, making pragmatic trade-offs based on business impact and risk
  • Familiarity with security compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) and supporting audits through technical controls and evidence
  • Experience evaluating, selecting, and integrating security tools and vendors in production environments
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security topics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
