  • Lead and support vulnerability remediation efforts, working cross-functionally to prioritize and resolve identified risks
  • Protect distributed, cloud-based platforms through strong distributed systems security practices
  • Develop detection and mitigation strategies for credential stuffing prevention and bot-based attacks
  • Support incident response activities, including triage, investigation, containment, and post-incident reviews
  • Monitor and analyze security events using Cloudflare and other telemetry sources to identify threats and anomalies
  • Maintain and optimize DNS (Domain Name System) security configurations, including traffic routing and protection against DNS-based attacks
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to embed secure design principles into application development and deployment lifecycles

Qualifications and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3–5 years of experience in information security engineering or application security roles
  • Hands-on experience with Cloudflare (WAF, Bot Management, DNS, CDN security) or similar edge security platforms
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • Web application security
    • Firewalls and network protection
    • Vulnerability management and remediation
    • Distributed systems and cloud security architectures
  • Experience managing or responding to incident response scenarios
  • Familiarity with credential stuffing detection/prevention techniques and bot management tools
  • Working knowledge of DNS protocols and security considerations
  • Experience in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP preferred)
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Preferred Distinctions:
  • Experience in FinTech, SaaS, or regulated financial environments
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, Security+, GIAC, Cloudflare certifications)
