  5. Manage cloud accounts, budget & vendors.

Security Management:

  1. Develop and implement comprehensive security policies, procedures, and controls to safeguard the company's infrastructure and data.
  2. Conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities.
  3. Deploy vendor applications and tools to protect the cloud environment from cybersecurity threats.
  4. Monitor security logs and alerts to detect and respond to security incidents in a timely manner.
  5. Stay abreast of emerging security threats, trends, and technologies to proactively mitigate risks.

Team Leadership and Development:

  1. Lead a team of infrastructure and security employees and contractors.
  2. Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning within the team.

  4. Manage workload allocation, performance evaluations, and training initiatives to optimize team productivity and effectiveness.

Qualifications:

  1. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
  2. 10+ years experience in infrastructure management, cloud architecture, and security operations within a cloud software company or similar environment.
  3. Strong technical expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), networking, virtualization, and containerization technologies.
  4. Demonstrated experience in developing and implementing security policies, procedures, and controls to protect against cybersecurity threats.
  5. Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  6. Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a keen attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing issues.
  7. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and effectively prioritize and manage multiple projects and tasks.
