Company Background
Our client is a travel technology company developing cloud-native, AI-powered software for airlines and hospitality brands.

What You'll Do
- Own and continuously improve cloud security posture across GCP organizations and AWS accounts, including connector coverage, runtime sensor deployment on production clusters, custom policy development, finding-triage baselines, and integrations with Jira, PagerDuty, and Slack;
- Operate and evolve the edge security layer, centralizing internet-facing protection through Cloudflare WAF, bot management, rate limiting, DNS/TLS, and origin routing for customer-facing production zones;
- Tune security rules using real production traffic, manage allow-list requests, and enable other teams to use edge-security tooling effectively;
- Support and automate vulnerability management and secure configuration, maintaining the intake of Wiz, SAST, penetration-test, and customer-reported findings, defining remediation baselines, and driving owners to closure;
- Participate in security incident response for cloud events, including DDoS and bot attacks, supply-chain alerts, credential exposure, and data-handling incidents, while creating and maintaining detection, triage, and mitigation runbooks;
- Help secure the software supply chain by owning SAST reporting in SonarCloud, dependency scanning with Dependabot, container base-image hardening, and the selection of SBOM and SCA tooling, and publish release-level security reports for engineering teams;
- Produce technical evidence for SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and NIS2, including evidence of log-sink configuration and retention, access reviews, authenticated scanning, and IAM remediation, and map Wiz controls to relevant frameworks to make evidence collection repeatable;
