• Demonstrated experience in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting security tools such as firewalls, SIEM platforms (e.g., Google SecOps, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), and vulnerability scanners.

• Solid understanding of cloud security principles and best practices across major cloud providers (GCP, AWS, Azure).

• Familiarity with DevOps concepts including CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and secure coding practices.

• Strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell) for automation, API integration, data analysis, and custom tool development are highly desirable and critical for this role.
