About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Conduct cloud security assessments across a range of environments, focusing primarily on AWS and Azure: reviewing configurations, identity architectures, network exposure, and attack paths to surface the risks that actually matter.
Design and build detection logic and alerting for cloud control plane activity, identity-based threats, and misconfiguration-driven exposure across cloud-native and third-party security platforms.
Write automation to speed up assessment work, extract and correlate data across large datasets, and turn repeatable analysis into something the team can use again.
Partner with our Red Team during Purple Team exercises: testing customer detection and response capabilities and translating the gaps into concrete recommendations.
Collaborate with internal delivery teams to help turn assessment findings into detection content that's ready to deploy.
Produce clear, high-quality reports and presentations for technical and executive audiences.
Run client engagements from scoping through delivery, keeping stakeholders well-informed throughout.
Help push our service offerings forward through methodology development, tooling contributions, and public-facing thought leadership.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong practical experience with AWS and Azure, including identity, compute, networking, storage, serverless, and logging and monitoring services.
A solid grasp of cloud architecture patterns and where security assumptions tend to break down in practice.
Experience building detection content that works: writing queries, developing alerting logic, and cutting through noise in cloud-native and third-party SIEM/XDR environments.
A working knowledge of how threat actors operate in cloud environments, and the ability to translate that into detections that actually fire on the right things.
Experience tracing how misconfigurations chain together into realistic attack paths — analysis that tells a coherent story rather than producing a list of isolated findings.
Familiarity with common cloud attack patterns: privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration.
Solid scripting ability in Python or equivalent, comfortable building tools to automate assessment tasks, work with large datasets, and extend existing frameworks.
Experience writing queries across platforms such as KQL, SPL, or cloud-native query engines.
Strong written and verbal communication in English.
Additional language proficiency is a strong advantage, particularly Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, or Thai.
