• Work in a continuously deployed AWS cloud environment

You Are:

• An expert practitioner of modern security practices and technologies.
• Familiar with NIST based compliance frameworks.
• Experienced in managing public cloud infrastructure as code.
• A leader with demonstrated success driving enterprise compliance programs who still wants to get your hands dirty and contribute directly to implementation. 
• A values and people oriented leader who can drive change through advocacy and influence.
• Biased to action and obsessed with delivery. You get things done.
• A pragmatist. You understand that security policies are driven by market requirements and risk management. You are comfortable advising executive leadership and making decisions based on risk/reward assessments.
