• Enforce industry security benchmarks (e.g., CIS) and hardening standards across operating systems and infrastructure components to proactively mitigate risks and reduce the attack surface.
• Lead technical investigations for security incidents within the infrastructure, performing root cause analysis, forensics, and implementing remediation steps to prevent recurrence.
• Develop security policies and procedures aligned with industry best practices and participate in internal/external audits to ensure the infrastructure meets regulatory requirements.
• Partner with IT, DevOps, and Engineering teams to integrate security best practices into the infrastructure lifecycle and foster a security-conscious culture.

Who we’re looking for

• Strong understanding of networking protocols, operating systems (Linux/Windows), and virtualization/containerization technologies.
• Hands-on experience with firewalls, VPNs, PKI/Cryptography management, and secret management systems.
• Knowledge of security principles for private or public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, virtualization clusters).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Go, or Bash) and experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
• Expert knowledge level in virtualisation based on OpenStack.
• Understanding of security aspects of virtualization, containerization.
• Ability to explain complex security risks to non-technical stakeholders and convince teams to adopt security best practices.
