Identify critical gaps and define a prioritized roadmap for improving security maturity across identity, runtime, network, and platform layers

Define and implement enterprise security controls across IAM governance, workload/runtime posture, and DNS security

Embed security guardrails, standards, and policies into the Platform Engineering and Cloud Center of Excellence (CoE) frameworks from the beginning of the transformation

Partner with platform teams to design secure-by-default self-service infrastructure patterns, templates, and workflows

Establish identity and access governance models including account strategy, role design, least-privilege policies, and federated access

Design and implement security standards for Kubernetes and containerized workloads, including supply chain security, workload isolation, and runtime protection

Define DNS and network security practices, including private networking, segmentation, service discovery, and threat protection

Collaborate with DevSecOps teams to integrate automated security testing, policy enforcement, and compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines

Support the creation of security observability, monitoring, incident response, and threat detection capabilities across the platform

Provide security leadership and mentoring to engineering teams to promote security ownership and best practices

Support organizational change management and stakeholder alignment to ensure security adoption across teams

Continuously evolve the security framework as the platform and operating model mature

Requirements for this challenge:

+7 years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, or platform security roles

Deep expertise in AWS security, including IAM, Organizations, SCPs, GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, KMS, and networking security

Strong experience securing Kubernetes environments, particularly Amazon EKS, including workload identity, network policies, secrets management, and runtime security

Experience designing and implementing enterprise IAM governance and access control models

Hands-on experience with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines

Strong understanding of cloud networking, DNS security, and zero-trust architectures

Experience building security guardrails and policy-as-code using tools such as Terraform, OPA, or similar technologies

Experience performing security posture assessments, threat modeling, and risk prioritization

Strong strategic thinking with the ability to balance security, developer experience, and delivery speed

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and executive audiences

Experience working in distributed, international teams in complex and fast-changing environments
