• 2+ years of hands-on experience operating and securing container-based infrastructures.
• 2+ years of application security experience designing, building, or testing web and API-based architectures.
• 2+ or more years of related experience in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and/or Information Technology including accountability for complex tasks and/or projects.
• 2+ years of experience in Security Engineering, DevOps, or IT Operations roles, strong familiarity with the principles of DevOps and Agile development.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience securing cloud applications and infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred).
• Excellent understanding/working knowledge of the public cloud infrastructure and services in AWS (IAM, VPC, KMS, CloudWatch, Systems Manager, S3, RDS, Route53, Lambda, AWS Config, etc.) is a strong plus.
• Excellent understanding of docker and container orchestration with Kubernetes and experience running production Kubernetes clusters in Amazon EKS, Google GKE, or similar managed platforms.
• Experience implementing and leveraging centralized logging and monitoring solutions such as Sumo Logic, Splunk, QRadar, pagerduty, elastic search, kibana, fluentd, etc.
