- Develops and documents technical solutions that meet specifications and impact future developments (e.g., process flows, requirements documents, data flows, mapping to controls).
- Identifies, selects, develops, and documents architecture artifacts (reference architectures, standards, policies, reusable designs, best practices).
- Researches, learns, and evaluates new technologies
- Leads discussions, assessments, tracking, and overall reporting of technology security risks.
- Documents issues, solutions, and status of assigned work.
- Understands business drivers and processes to evaluate risk and recommend solutions with a balanced result.

- 1-3 years of practical cloud information security experience with a preference to have experience with major cloud service providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience in creating conceptual, logical, and physical security diagrams, with a thorough understanding of vulnerabilities and countermeasures.
- Maintains a strong familiarity with information security compliance programs and regulations
- Detailed understanding of identity, access, and authentication mechanisms (Kerberos, NTLM, AD), networking technologies, software-defined computing, containerization, routing and switching, big data, elastic compute, and risk analysis and risk management methodologies.
