• 5–7 years of experience in technical roles, with at least 3 years focused on securing AWS cloud infrastructure at scale
• Hands-on experience with AWS services and security controls, including compute (EC2, ECS, EKS), storage (S3, RDS, ElastiCache), networking (VPCs, Security Groups), IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch
• Proven experience automating security controls across AWS environments, using tools like AWS Organizations SCPs, IAM permission boundaries, AWS Config, and Lambda auto-remediation

• Shape the security of our new API-first, microservices platform running on Amazon EKS by establishing Kubernetes and container security best practices across pod security, network policies, and secure build pipelines
• Help align Jane’s cloud security posture to industry frameworks (such as SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and CIS AWS Benchmarks) by implementing the controls, monitoring, and reporting needed for continuous compliance and audit readiness
