- Develop and continuously improve cloud security concepts, standards and technical guidelines
- Review cloud architectures, configurations and services from a security perspective
- Contribute to infrastructure automation and secure Infrastructure as Code
- Support the secure use of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS services
- Document solutions and transfer knowledge across technical teams
- Act as a trusted security partner to cloud engineers, architects and operational stakeholders
Your Background
- Degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology or a related discipline
