• Define Cloud Security Patterns: Create and document reusable security patterns and guardrails for AWS migration, ensuring teams have a secure blueprint to build against.
• Architecture Design & Validation: Conduct deep-dive design reviews and service validations for applications moving to the cloud. You will be the final gate of approval for security architecture.
• Migration Strategy Assessment: Evaluate various migration strategies (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor) to identify risks and implement compensating controls specific to data security.
• Threat Modeling: Lead threat modeling sessions with engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities in the design phase (shifting security left).
• Business & Stakeholder Alignment: Translate complex security risks into business language. You will meet with application owners and business sponsors to discuss priorities, user experience, and risk appetite.

Must-Have Technical Skills

• Experience: 7 -8+ years in Cybersecurity with a dedicated focus on Security Architecture or Cloud Engineering.
• AWS Mastery: Deep, hands-on understanding of the AWS ecosystem (IAM, VPC, Security Groups, GuardDuty, KMS, etc.) and how to secure it.
• Migration Experience: Proven track record of supporting cloud migration projects (on-prem to cloud or hybrid).
• Architectural Competence: Experience conducting design reviews, architectural assessments, and validating service configurations.
• Communication: Exceptional soft skills. You must be able to hold your own in a room with non-technical business leaders and explain why a security control matters to their bottom line.
