Desirable

• Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Lead Cloud Security Developer to be part of making this happen
• As a Lead Cloud Security Developer, you will be an essential part of the Cloud Security team, focused on ensuring the security of the Arctic Wolf infrastructure through the continual improvement of security tooling, automation, and engagement with internal stakeholders
• This is a hands-on position with a strong focus on automating cloud security (Protect and Detect) and continually raising the bar for Cloud Security
• You will work largely within AWS (Azure coming soon!), and we do everything-as-code
• The focus of this role is on helping lead improvements to our ability to Protect and Detect within our product space - defining, deploying, managing and improving the use and usability of cloud and other infrastructure security tooling
• This means services like GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Config, Security Hub, Detective, Inspector, SSM, Security Lake, as well as platforms like Kubernetes
• In addition, you will help lead the continuous effort to improve and simplify access control into and throughout our Cloud environments, with work largely focused on AWS IAM and CloudTrail Lake, along with custom tooling to enable least-privilege and just-in-time access
• Finally, you will help get to the root of security risks and events at Arctic Wolf - acting as an escalation point for incidents, engaging with teams to support design improvements, engaging with vendors for roadmaps, providing feedback and driving improvement, and always looking at how we can automate away toil
• You will work with our security tooling and vendors to drive improvements
• This work will be heavily focused on AWS, but will also branch out to include Azure and GCP, as well as delving into moving forward security for other platforms like Kubernetes
• Take ownership of strategic problems, work with internal security teams, research and development, and product functions to deliver actionable solutions that will lower risk
• Stay current on the cloud security landscape, advocate for useful advances, and help set and implement security direction
• Define and maintain our security toolset, ensuring that it is scalable and automated
• Drive improved security monitoring for platforms, infrastructure, and code
• Support remediation of infrastructure security problems across the product landscape
• Build significant automation to remove the operational toil for the Cloud Security and other teams
• Help set the direction for security data, deploy, run, and improve business intelligence tools, driving a reduction in risk through the organization and pretty much anything else related to ensuring we stay ahead of bad actors
• What you might accomplish in the first six months, based on your interests:
• Identify a gap, then define, deploy and operationalize a new AWS security service or feature using IaC
• Research and enable new features, operationalize, and grow usage of new and existing security tooling
• Act as a SME in response to infrastructure security events and incidents, follow up with RCA and help stop repeats
• Automate reporting and remediation of security findings through tools like EventBridge, Lambda, Jira, Slack, Security Hub
• Improve automation, data collection, reporting, usability, or add features around Access Control
• Lead the improvement of security in a problem domain (host based, containers, IAM, Lambda, APIs, etc)
• Drive understanding and remediation of risks throughout our cloud infrastructure
• Define and lead improvements to CI/CD to improve guardrails and gates to production
• Technology that you may work with while you are here:
• Cloud: GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Security Hub, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, security groups, VPC flow logs, certificate management (ACM), key management (KMS), Athena, EKS, Inspector,Lambda and other serverless technology, Terraform, Azure, GCP, WAF,Shield
• Platforms: Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, ElasticSearch, Kafka
• Programming: Go, Python
• CI/CD: GitHub, Github Actions, Harness
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager, CloudWatch

• Background checks are required for this position
