Architect and maintain secure identity and access management (IAM) structures, encryption standards, and network segmentation for AWS workloads.
Ensure secure migration of workloads and data from Azure and on‑premise environments into AWS, ensuring consistent governance and compliance.
Ensure security automation and Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) guardrails are embedded to enforce baseline configurations and detect drift.
Collaborate with DevOps to integrate security scanning and validation into CI/CD pipelines.
Governance, Risk, & Compliance
Ensure all AWS security configurations align with Freeman’s compliance obligations (SOC 2, PCI, NIST CSF).
Oversee the implementation of AWS‑native security services such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, and CloudTrail for continuous visibility and assurance.
Support internal and external audit readiness by maintaining evidence, documentation, and testing of cloud controls.
Partner with Risk and GRC teams to translate compliance requirements into actionable technical controls.
Work with the SOC team to design and tune detection rules, log pipelines, and automated response playbooks for AWS environments.
Lead cloud‑related incident investigations and coordinate remediation efforts across teams.
Continuously evaluate new AWS security capabilities and third‑party tools to enhance detection, response, and prevention capabilities.
Partner with Infrastructure and Application teams to embed security early in project design and delivery.
Develop and maintain enterprise documentation including cloud security standards, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks.
Provide technical leadership in design reviews, risk assessments, and vendor evaluations related to cloud security solutions.
Qualifications & Experience Required
5+ years of experience in IT Security or Cloud Security roles, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead capacity.
Proven hands‑on experience with AWS architecture, governance, and security controls.
Demonstrated success migrating or securing hybrid environments spanning Azure and on‑premise infrastructure.
Deep understanding of IAM, encryption, key management, networking, and monitoring within AWS.
Expertise with Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and automation scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
Strong familiarity with NIST CSF, CIS, and ISO 27001 frameworks.
Preferred
AWS Certified Security – Specialty or AWS Solutions Architect – Professional.
Experience with container and serverless security (EKS, ECS, Lambda).
Familiarity with Zero Trust network and access models (Zscaler, Cloudflare, Okta).
Experience leading or contributing to SOC 2, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001 audit readiness efforts.
Demonstrated ability to lead teams and deliver security solutions in large, distributed enterprises.
