We are seeking a highly skilled AWS Security Lead to join our biggest customer team. This role combines hands-on engineering with leadership and coordination responsibilities, ensuring the security of our AWS environments and supporting our teams in implementing best practices. You will play a pivotal role in managing risks, improving container and cloud security, and, ultimately, driving security improvements across our organization.

- Evaluate and implement security tooling.
- Identify and mitigate security risks, ensuring environments comply with agreed security baselines and policies.
- Act as a trusted advisor, guiding customer team(s) through security transformations and fostering a culture of security awareness.
- Provide leadership during security incidents, serving as the first point of contact for CERT coordination.
- Collaborate on audit and compliance processes as needed.
What are we looking for?
- Extensive hands-on experience with AWS platform engineering and security.
- Proficiency with AWS security tools, including GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudWatch.
- Strong expertise in vulnerability management, container security, and related tools such as SonarQube, TRIVY, and Splunk.
- Ability to conceptualize and explain architectural designs clearly.
- Proven ability to coordinate, plan, and lead security efforts across multiple teams.
- Strong communication skills to effectively work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
It would be nice if you also bring some experience in the area of:
- EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tools.
- Familiarity with audit, compliance, and risk management processes.
- Certifications such as AWS Certified Security – Specialty or similar.
