  • 10+ years in web application penetration testing and cybersecurity, with at least 4+ years focused on cloud security engineering
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and AWS security services
  • Deep knowledge of cloud security operations, network security, firewalls, WAFs, and SIEM platforms
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and practical experience with automation and cloud security tools
  • CISSP required; additional certifications such as GWAPT, OSCP, CISM, or cloud provider security certifications highly desirable
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks, secure coding practices, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills with the ability to work in client-facing, fast-paced environments
  • Bonus: experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), container security, and DevSecOps practices
Benefits:
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Employer-paid life and disability insurance
