  • Own the external-facing findings workflow end-to-end (triage → ticketing → change control → validation) under Infrastructure leadership working with IT Security team.
  • Harden on-premises servers, endpoints, and critical services (e.g., Active Directory, Exchange, DNS).
  • Track the existing patch management processes and ensure we are compliant.
  • Evaluate security control around AI usage.
  • Oversee data and SQL security practices, ensuring proper access controls, query validation, and protection against injection attacks and unauthorized data exposure.
  • Build/maintain infra security standards/runbooks for Infrastructure teams and ensure ongoing compliance.

  • Familiarity with application security practices, OWASP Top 10, and common vulnerability types.
  • Experience securing cloud environments in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Working knowledge of Windows and Linux system hardening and administration.
  • Experience with SIEM platforms and log analysis (e.g., Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic).
  • Strong understanding of authentication protocols, TLS/SSL, PKI, and access management.
  • Ability to communicate security risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred

  • Relevant certifications such as Security+, CEH, OSCP, AWS Security Specialty, or CISSP (Associate).
  • Experience with DevSecOps and embedding security into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or CIS Benchmarks.
