• Implement and review AWS security controls (IAM, GuardDuty, WAF, Security Groups, CloudTrail).
• Configure, monitor, and optimize Amazon CloudWatch, including alarms, metrics, logs, dashboards, anomaly detection, and integrations with security workflows.
• Leverage AI/ML-driven cloud security insights from GuardDuty, CloudWatch anomaly detection, IAM Access Analyzer, and CSPM tools to flag misconfigurations and unusual behaviour.
• Develop and maintain SIEM/SOAR dashboards and alerts for proactive threat detection and apply AI-enhanced SIEM analytics to detect anomalous behaviour and reduce false positives.
• Collaborate with DevOps, Cloud, and Security teams to embed security best practices into our SaaS infrastructure.
• Use AI copilots and automation tools to improve workflows (rule reviews, log analysis, report creation, and playbook generation).
• Maintain documentation and contribute to continuous improvement of our security standards.
• 3-6 years of experience in network or cybersecurity engineering within a cloud driven environment.
• Strong experience with Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama.
• Solid understanding of network security, IDS/IPS, and VPNs.
• Hands-on experience with CrowdStrike EDR or similar endpoint protection tools.
• Working knowledge of AWS security architecture and services.
• Experience configuring and using Amazon CloudWatch (logs, metrics, dashboards, alarms).
• Experience with SIEM/SOAR platforms.
• Familiarity with AI-driven features in EDR, SIEM, or cloud security platforms (or willingness to adopt them).
• Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and collaboration skills.
• Certifications like Palo Alto CEH, PCNSA/PCNSE, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, or CrowdStrike CCFA/CCFR.
• Experience in SaaS, multi-tenant, or cloud-native environments.
• Familiarity with Python, PowerShell, or Terraform for automation.
