    • Infrastructure and Application Security
      • Participate in architecture reviews to ensure new services or features are securely designed and deployed.
      • Implement and manage security groups, network ACLs, and VPC configurations to enforce secure connectivity.
      • Work with application and DevOps teams to apply security best practices in CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (IaC).
    • Monitoring & Logging
      • Centralize and analyze AWS logs using tools such as Amazon CloudWatch, Elasticsearch (OpenSearch), or third-party SIEM platforms (e.g., Datadog).
      • Configure alerts and dashboards for security-related metrics and anomalies.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience (5 yrs).
    • 2–5 years of experience in IT Security, with at least 1–2 years in securing AWS environments.
    • Solid understanding of AWS core services (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, Lambda, VPC, CloudFront).
    • Experience with AWS security services (GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector, KMS, etc.).
    • Familiarity with IAM best practices, key management, and encryption standards.
    • Knowledge of TCP/IP networking, firewalls, VPNs, and DNS in cloud environments.
    • Proficiency in scripting or automation (Python, Bash, or Terraform preferred).

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Excellent written and verbal communication.
    • Ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams.
    • Detail-oriented with a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks.
