Hands-on experience with Wiz for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), including identifying, prioritizing, and remediating cloud security risks.
Strong scripting and automation experience using Python, Bash, or similar languages within CI/CD pipelines.
Experience designing secure cloud deployment patterns and infrastructure automation.
Strong understanding of cloud and on-premises networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, and software-defined networking (SDN).
Experience securing enterprise cloud environments and implementing cloud security best practices.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting Azure and/or AWS environments.
Experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, or Atlantis.
Combination of infrastructure engineering and cloud security experience.
Experience evaluating or implementing enterprise cloud security tooling and security automation frameworks.
