  • Lead threat modeling and risk assessments across systems, services, and data pipelines.
  • Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate security in SDLC and CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).
  • Define and enforce security policies, incident response procedures, and access controls.
  • Monitor for security breaches and investigate security events using SIEM and forensic tools.
  • Ensure compliance with global standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.
  • Provide guidance on secure implementation of AI/ML components and data protection strategies.

Preferred Skills

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience in information security, application security, or cybersecurity engineering.
  • Proficient in penetration testing methodologies and use of tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Wireshark, Nessus, OWASP ZAP, Qualys, etc.
  • Deep experience in vulnerability management, patching, and security hardening practices.
  • Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, API security, and secure coding principles.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), IAM, firewalls, WAFs, encryption, and endpoint security.
  • Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, and DLP solutions.
  • Knowledge of DevSecOps and tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and incident-handling capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, OSCP, or AWS Security Specialty.

  • A mission-critical role securing next-gen AI systems
  • Opportunity to work with an innovative and fast-paced tech company
  • High visibility and leadership opportunities in a growing security function
