Design and implement automated security workflows, AI-assisted playbooks, and AWS-native response capabilities to improve detection accuracy and reduce MTTD and MTTR.
Partner with Security, IT, and DevOps teams to enhance security posture, improve processes and tooling, develop detection content, and mentor junior security engineers.

Deep expertise securing and investigating AWS environments, including IAM, CloudTrail, Config, CloudWatch, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Detective, VPC Flow Logs, S3 logging, and serverless security controls.
Experience conducting forensic investigations, evidence collection, log analysis, malware triage, and cloud-based incident investigations while maintaining chain-of-custody best practices.
Strong scripting and automation skills with Python, PowerShell, and/or Bash, including building security automations using AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, and EventBridge; experience applying AI and ML technologies to security operations is highly desirable.
Strong communication and investigative skills, including technical reporting, executive presentations, and preferred certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, OSCP, or CISSP.
You Might Also Have...
Experience with digital forensics platforms such as AXIOM, F-Response, Timesketch, Volatility, Velociraptor, or other enterprise investigation tools.
Experience with additional EDR/XDR platforms such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, or Carbon Black.
Expertise building and maintaining SOAR platforms, automated response workflows, and cloud-native security operations.
Experience with AI security technologies including Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Security Copilot, Google SecOps/Chronicle, or open-source LLM integrations.
