- Identify opportunities to re-architect or improve existing controls as new security technology becomes available
- Define steps required for application teams to comply with cloud controls
- Coordinate with control implementation teams to resolve any implementation issues
- Perform peer reviews for work completed by other team members
Key Terms: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Security, Cybersecurity
Basic Qualifications:

- At least 8 years of experience with engineering, information technology, or software development
