As a Cloud Security Lead (Cloud Security Architecture & Hardening) at Island, you will design, implement, and enhance the security of our mission-critical cloud infrastructure and the Island Enterprise Browser by establishing robust security architectures, implementing proactive hardening controls, and driving continuous operational excellence. You will play a critical role in safeguarding our cloud environment, shaping the foundational security posture through precision, innovation, and design foresight.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud Security Architecture & Hardening: Design and enforce security baselines, configurations, and reference architectures across our multi-cloud footprint (AWS/GCP/Azure). Evaluate new cloud services and features for security implications and create hardened deployment standards for IaaS, PaaS, and serverless components.
Security Engineering & Automation: Develop and deploy security-as-code solutions, integrating security controls directly into CI/CD pipelines and leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools to ensure continuous configuration integrity and compliance. Develop custom automation for detection, alerting, and triage workflows, leveraging cloud SDKs and APIs.
Cloud Security Monitoring & Observability: Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native security monitoring solutions (e.g., utilizing services like CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Command Center) to ensure comprehensive visibility across the cloud control plane and data plane.
Incident Triage & Response: Support the security team in investigating and responding to critical security events and vulnerabilities, creating runbooks, and contributing to post-incident remediation and architectural improvements.
Security Enablement & Awareness: Collaborate with product, engineering, and IT teams to improve security awareness, deliver training, and drive adoption of security best practices across Island, specifically for IaaS, PaaS, and secure DevOps practices.
