  • Maintain a continuously reconciled map of VPC peerings, tunnels, cross-account links, and public entry points.
  • Enforce segmentation boundaries for production and the cardholder-data environment and conduct segmentation testing.
  • Evaluate and help deliver per-application private access and ZTNA for production systems.
  • Own east-west and north-south network telemetry and feed identity-aware flow data to the SIEM.
  • Manage admission controls, security groups, firewall rules, infrastructure-as-code enforcement, and automated drift detection and remediation.
  • Build workload and segment containment capabilities and participate in incident response.
  • Participate in threat modeling, design reviews, and on-call support for owned controls.

  • Active practical use of AI tooling such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or custom LLM integrations.
  • Preferred experience with Cilium, eBPF, Hubble, service meshes, SPIFFE/SPIRE, ZTNA, identity-aware proxies, policy-as-code, admission control, network detection, incident containment, SOC 2, FFIEC-style examinations, or regulated fintech and payments environments.
