- Strong Python experience building automation for cloud infrastructure and networking workflows, including authoring AWS Lambda functions and using boto3 to automate AWS operations.
- Hands-on AWS experience implementing and troubleshooting core services across networking, compute, security, and observability (e.g., AWS Lambda, EC2, VPC, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints, NLB, Route 53, CloudWatch, IAM)..
- Knowledge of security best practices and relevant regulatory expectations, with experience evolving controls and implementing mechanisms to measure/validate control effectiveness over time
- Ability to review and validate AI-assisted code/security recommendations before adoption, escalating uncertainty and ensuring outcomes align to security, resiliency, and auditability expectations.
- Good communication skills, teamwork capabilities, and a self-learning attitude
- Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate security engineering workflows (e.g., threat modeling, vulnerability analysis synthesis, documentation), with strong validation habits and appropriate handling of sensitive data
Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills
- Experience with forward or reverse proxy technologies and architectures at enterprise scale (e.g., F5, Squid, Envoy, or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience with TLS/SSL certificate management, PKI, mTLS, and truststore configuration in cloud-native environments
- Strong understanding of proxy protocols (HTTP CONNECT, HTTPS, SOCKS5), DNS-based routing, and network egress control patterns
- Experience effectively communicating with senior business leaders
- AWS Certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, Security Specialty, Advanced Networking Specialty)
