• Assist in the development and documentation of cloud security reference architectures, blueprints, and operational runbooks. 

• Troubleshoot and support ongoing cloud security operations including incident response, vulnerability management, and hardening. 

Requirements: 

• 3-5+ years of experience in cloud engineering or cybersecurity roles, with a strong focus on Azure and/or AWS. 

• Hands-on experience deploying and managing cloud-native security controls and tools. 

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure components such as virtual networks, identity management, key management services, and logging pipelines. 

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation) and DevSecOps practices is an advantage. 

• Understanding of cloud-native threat models and security architecture principles. 

• Relevant certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, Azure Cybersecurity Architect, or equivalent are preferred. 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; fluent English required.
