• Cloud Security Knowledge: Strong technical background in cloud security and identity management. Familiarity with AWS Cloud Services is required, including hands-on experience or solid understanding of AWS security services and concepts:

o AWS Key Management Service (KMS) – understanding key encryption and management.
o AWS Secrets Manager – managing application secrets and rotations.
o AWS integration with enterprise identity providers or Active Directory (e.g., AWS SSO/Azure AD integration).
o General knowledge of cloud networking and security best practices (zero trust, least privilege, etc.).
• Session Management Tools: Experience with tools like StrongDM or similar session management/secure access platforms. Able to understand and facilitate discussions around secure connectivity for admins and engineers (such as managing credentials, session logging, and just-in-time access in a cloud environment).
• Communication & Leadership: Excellent communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills. Able to lead by influence and foster collaboration in cross-functional teams. Comfortable communicating with technical engineers, security specialists, product owners, and senior management alike. Proven track record of conflict resolution and team empowerment.

• Security Focus: Background in Information Security or developing secure software is a big advantage. Knowledge of compliance frameworks or security standards (e.g., SOC2, NIST, CIS benchmarks for cloud) can help in understanding the context of our projects.
• Tool Familiarity: Exposure to additional Agile and DevOps tools such as Confluence (for documentation), CI/CD pipelines, or monitoring tools is nice to have – indicating an ability to interface with DevOps processes that often accompany cloud development.
