• Maintain security controls, logs, incident procedures, and disaster-recovery documentation
• Support SOC 2 evidence collection, control monitoring, remediation tracking, and customer security questionnaires

Tickets and reporting

• Own infrastructure and security tickets from triage through resolution, with clear updates to stakeholders
• Prepare customer platform usage reports for Customer Success and infrastructure usage reports for internal teams

What you bring

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in AWS cloud operations, DevOps, systems administration, or cloud security
• Strong Linux administration and production troubleshooting skills
• Practical knowledge of IAM, networking, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, security groups, logging, and vulnerability management
• Experience with scripting or automation using Bash, Python, PowerShell, or similar tools
• The ability to communicate technical issues clearly and follow them through to resolution
