We're looking for a AWS Cloud Security Analyst to be a force multiplier across the organisation, someone who brings deep cloud security expertise, strong architectural thinking, and the confidence to challenge assumptions when needed.You’ll work hands-on across our AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD and developer environments, surfacing risks early, designing secure patterns, automating controls, and strengthening the foundational security posture that underpins a global crypto exchange.This is a role for someone who wants to build, influence, advise, and elevate — not just run scanners.
Continuously assess and uplift the security posture of our AWS and Kubernetes environments through automation and secure-by-design principles.
Strengthen detection and response capabilities by improving security telemetry, triage, anomaly detection, and automation
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
