Your key responsibilities

• Identify areas for improvement in existing cloud security postures and proactively drive the implementation of enhanced Cyber Hygiene standards and policies, with a significant focus on GCP Cyber Hygiene Operations and CWPP strategies, within and across teams.
• Contribute to the development of security content for cloud monitoring platforms, focusing extensively on the Google Cloud Platform and Azure. This includes establishing detection use cases, reports, network and asset model management, dashboards, rules/logic, documentation, and processes that actively monitor and reinforce strong cloud cyber hygiene, especially for GCP environments and protected workloads through CWPP.
• Collaborate with other security specialists and experts to support the architecture, design, and implementation of services and processes that bolster our mission of threat prevention through rigorous cyber hygiene adherence and effective CWPP deployment in GCP and other cloud platforms.
• Work closely with Cyber Intelligence and the Security Operations Centre to enhance proactive security capabilities for cloud services, with a focus on identifying and remediating GCP-specific cyber hygiene deficiencies and CWPP misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities or exploitation.
• Manage and oversee a range of sophisticated cloud-native security tools and services, with a strong emphasis on GCP security tooling and Cloud Workload Protection Platforms, aimed at proactively enforcing cyber hygiene compliance, identifying misconfigurations, and continuously assessing the security posture of cloud environments.

Your skills and experience

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience with GCP/AWS or MS Azure, with a strong understanding of their security features and best practices for maintaining robust cyber hygiene, particularly within Google Cloud Platform and effective CWPP implementation.
• At least 5 years of experience in developing, modifying, enhancing, and fine-tuning detection and alerting/threat hunting use cases within security platforms. This includes extensive experience in building rules that specifically detect deviations from expected cyber hygiene policies, security baselines, and CWPP configurations in GCP environments.
• At least 12 months of experience working with cloud-native security solutions, with a proven track record in GCP security and compliance tooling, including CWPP solutions, specifically leveraging them for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), compliance monitoring, and hygiene enforcement.
• Experience with industry-known detection query languages including YARA, YARA-I, and SPL, applied to proactively identify security misconfigurations, policy violations, and other indicators of poor cyber hygiene across GCP resources and within protected workloads (CWPP).
• Familiarity with security operations processes, with a strong emphasis on how cyber hygiene failures and CWPP gaps in GCP contribute to an elevated risk profile and a keen interest in developing preventative measures.
• Experience automating tasks using scripting languages like GCP CLI, PowerShell, Go, and Python, particularly for enforcing security configurations, automating hygiene checks, CWPP policy enforcement, and remediating compliance drift across Google Cloud Platform environments.
• Experience with assessment, development, implementation, optimization, and documentation of a wide range of security technologies and processes (e.g., secure software development/Application Security, data protection, cryptography, key management, identity and access management, network security) within SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and other cloud environments, always with a paramount focus on establishing and improving cyber hygiene, especially within GCP and through CWPP solutions.
• At least 3 years of work experience in fields such as Encryption, IAM (Identity & Access Management), Security Monitoring, Network Security, Pen Testing, Security Operation, or Application Security, with a demonstrated understanding of their critical role in achieving and maintaining robust cyber hygiene, particularly in a GCP context and with CWPP tools.

Education and Certifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in cloud and network technology, software development, or IT security.
• Certifications like CompTIA Security+, Google Cloud Associate Engineer, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer, Google Cloud Professional engineer, or Google Cloud Architect are a plus but not mandatory, especially if they demonstrate a strong focus on GCP security engineering, CWPP, compliance, and hygiene best practices.
