About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks and scripts (Python, Bash, Terraform) to streamline security processes and workflows.
Deploy and manage secure, scalable infrastructure on AWS using Terraform via Scalr and Harness, with additional presence in GCP and Azure.
Build, support, and optimize AWS Step Functions, Lambda, and EventBridge workflows from a centralized tooling account that operates across multiple spoke accounts in the AWS Organization.
Maintain Kubernetes clusters using Helm charts, including in-house security automations on pods that integrate with CSPM tools and Jira ticketing processes.
Develop and enforce cloud security guardrails using OPA, Guardrails, Service Control Policies (SCPs), IaC security gates, and tag policies.
Architect, build, and maintain Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) integrations, including onboarding log sources, managing indexes, tuning correlation searches, and configuring automated response actions.
Design and implement Splunk SOAR playbooks to automate security tasks, reduce Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), and scale SOC capabilities.
Serve as the subject matter expert for Okta Identity Engine (OIE) — building and managing scalable SSO policies, modern authentication (SAML/OIDC), and identity lifecycle processes.
Leverage AWS security services (GuardDuty, Macie, IAM, Control Tower, KMS, CloudTrail, EventBridge) to build event-driven automations for threat detection and response.
Own the in-house Jira management process for CSPM findings and the supporting data pipeline that feeds AWS QuickSight dashboards.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Dev, Platform, Security, and SOC) to integrate security automation into CI/CD pipelines and shift security left.
Conduct risk assessments, enforce security best practices, and continuously improve our defensive posture through automation and tooling.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize cloud infrastructure and security systems to ensure high availability, performance, and compliance.
Stay current with AWS best practices, security trends, and emerging technologies to drive continuous improvement.
