We are looking for a versatile, expert cloud security professional who loves to make an impact through cross-organizational efforts to keep The Zebra secure and aligned with various state and federal laws.

Location: 

While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still in the process of establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve recently made the shift from an in-office organization to a hybrid model and love the flexibility it allows our employees.

• Define requirements, help evaluate and analyze new technology to address security gaps and concerns in a cloud environment.
• Analyze IT requirements and provide objective advice on the use of IT security requirements and controls.
• Ensure proper DevSecOps practices are being implemented.
• Act as a leader to secure our security posture.
• Implement efficient security controls to help improve security posture. (e.g. WAF, DLP, SIEM, TVM, SAST/DAST, DevSecOps, etc.)
• Know the latest with industry trends.
• Monitor and respond to regulatory developments and industry standard processes in a timely manner.

What We're Looking For: 

As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks who have a strong sense of ownership, great communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code
• Ability to multitask and prioritize contending demands
• Expertise in writing run books, and complexity analysis

Experience that will Impress the Heck Out of Us:
