    • Contributing to internal AI security standards (prompt/data handling guidance, logging strategy, third-party risk considerations).
  • Work cross-functionally with IS Risk and Compliance team to produce evidence and reporting to support internal security requirements and external compliance obligations (e.g., SOC 2 / ISO-aligned controls, healthcare and privacy expectations).
  • Participate in security incident response for cloud-related events, including containment and recovery actions.
  • Other duties as assigned.
2. Experience
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in cloud security, DevSecOps, cloud engineering with security focus, or security operations in cloud environments or a combination of education and experience.
