• Experience partnering with engineering and infrastructure teams to deliver secure solutions in iterative delivery models; ability to translate security requirements into actionable technical designs
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and produce clear architecture artifacts (reference architectures, standards, patterns, and risk decision records)

Desired Skills/Attributes

• Bachelorʼs or Masterʼs degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Three or more years of experience in cloud cybersecurity.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Experience designing and architecting cloud cybersecurity solutions.
• Experience as a technical leader or mentor.
• Experience architecting security for hybrid environments (on-prem, cloud, and SaaS), including secure connectivity, segmentation, and identity boundaries
• Familiarity with secure SDLC/DevSecOps practices and common tooling (code scanning, dependency scanning, configuration and policy validation, and CI/CD security controls)
• Experience with Zero Trust concepts, identity governance, privileged access management (PAM), and strong authentication/conditional access strategies
• Experience defining logging/telemetry requirements and partnering with SOC/SIEM teams to develop detections, response playbooks, and measurable security outcomes
• Knowledge of security frameworks and control mapping (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001) and experience supporting audits and compliance initiatives
• Strong ability to influence without authority and drive adoption of standards through enablement, reusable patterns, and practical guardrails that improve developer and operator experience
