Role
Who you are
- Multiple years and/or major projects of experience in AWS, particularly using AWS security services (GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Detective, IAM Access Analyzer, IAM, Security Hub)
- Multiple years and/or projects focused on using IaC (CloudFormation, Terraform) to manage and deploy services
- Significant experience with programming languages (Python, Go) and libraries (boto3, troposphere)
- Comfortable working with security/related services like KMS, ACM, Athena, CloudWatch, SSM
- Comfortable working with AWS Lambda - writing, deployment, operations
- Comfort with CI/CD systems, particular
What the job involves
- Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Security Developer to be part of making this happen
- As a Senior 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). You will work largely within AWS (Azure coming soon!), and we do everything-as-code
- The focus of this role is on improving 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 advocate and drive 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 drive and define ongoing security operations and best security practice of the backend that makes up Arctic Wolf - acting as an escalation point for cloud security events and incidents, engaging with teams to support design improvements, engaging with vendors for roadmaps, feedback and 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 other platforms (like Kubernetes)
- 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
- Support response to infrastructure security events and apply preventative measures
- 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
- Operationalize host-based security monitoring (AWS Inspector, others?), network security tooling, or other infrastructure related security projects
- Drive understanding and remediation of risks throughout our cloud infrastructure
- Define and implement IaC validation to prevent insecure configuration from being deployed
- Take ownership of problems, work with internal security teams, research, development, and product functions to deliver actionable intelligence or solutions that will lower risk
- Stay current on the cloud security landscape and help set and implement security direction
- Define and maintain our security toolset, ensuring that it is scalable and automated
- Improve security monitoring for platform, infrastructure, and code
- Support response to security events and incidents
- Build automation to remove the operational toil for the Cloud Security and other teams
- Help build, deploy, run, and improve business intelligence tools and data for security reports
- And pretty much anything related to ensuring we stay ahead of bad actors
