• Investigate security alerts and remediate vulnerabilities using tools such as AWS Inspector, Guard Duty, and Cloud Trail.
• Maintain security controls, logs, incident procedures, and disaster-recovery documentation.
• Support SOC 2 evidence collection, control monitoring, remediation tracking, and customer security questionnaires.

Tickets and reporting

• Own infrastructure and security tickets from triage through resolution, with clear updates to stakeholders.
• Prepare customer platform usage reports for Customer Success and infrastructure usage reports for internal teams.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in AWS cloud operations, Dev Ops, systems administration, or cloud security.
• Strong Linux administration and production troubleshooting skills.
• Practical knowledge of IAM, networking, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, security groups, logging, and vulnerability management.
• Experience with scripting or automation using Bash, Python, Power Shell, or similar tools.
• The ability to communicate technical issues clearly and follow them through to resolution.
