• Experience with Microsoft Azure, AWS or hybrid cloud security.
• Familiarity with SIEM, SOC operations, vulnerability management and incident response.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, CISM or Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Expert.

The role includes designing, documenting and maintaining secure architectures across infrastructure, network, cloud and application environments; reviewing architectures, identifying vulnerabilities, assessing technical risks and conducting threat modelling; defining security requirements and supporting cybersecurity solution implementation, vulnerability remediation and continuous security improvements.
