About the role

Own cloud security posture and runtime detection for live cloud environments and containerized workloads in a SaaS-first, cloud-native stack. Focus on detection architecture, posture management, and runtime visibility; primary owner of CrowdStrike; evaluate migration to a new SIEM; shape how threats are detected and responded to with autonomy.

Responsibilities

  • Own CrowdStrike Falcon configuration, ensuring policies are appropriately scoped, tuned, and generating actionable alerts.
  • Partner with MDR to define alert routing, triage thresholds, and escalation logic, ensuring the right signals reach the right team.
  • Monitor cloud environments (primarily AWS) for security posture drift: misconfigured IAM roles, overly permissive security groups, exposed storage, and non-compliant resource configurations.
  • Secure Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads: manage Network Policies, RBAC, Admission Controllers, and runtime detection for anomalous container behavior.
  • Develop and enforce cloud security policies and standards for AWS infrastructure, ensuring secure and scalable deployments align with organizational risk posture.
  • Evaluate and lead the implementation of additional detection tooling, including cloud SIEM platforms, designing detection rules and alerting pipelines.
  • Manage infrastructure as code (IaC) security using Terraform or OpenTofu — ensuring IaC definitions meet security standards before deployment.
  • Automate security posture checks and detection workflows using Python and shell scripting.
  • Stay current with the evolving cloud threat landscape and translate emerging threats into detection coverage or posture improvements.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 8 years of experience in cloud security, security engineering, or a related infrastructure security discipline.
  • Hands-on experience with a cloud security posture management (CSPM) platform — CrowdStrike, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca, or equivalent (prior CrowdStrike experience a plus but not required).
  • Deep familiarity with AWS security architecture: IAM/SCP policy design, VPC networking, security groups, CloudTrail, and cloud-native security controls. GCP or Azure experience considered in lieu of AWS for strong candidates willing to expand into AWS.
  • Proficiency with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, or CloudFormation, with an understanding of how to enforce security standards within IaC workflows.
  • Strong Python and shell scripting skills for security automation, detection rule development, and tooling integration.
  • Must be a US Citizen or legal permanent resident (Xometry handles ITAR-controlled data).
