• Deploy runtime threat detection (GuardDuty, Falco, Wazuh)
• Manage secrets detection and scanning (GitLeaks, Vault)
• Build observability with ELK stack, Elastic agents, and anomaly alerting
  

What success looks like:
3 months

• Deploy SAST tooling (SonarQube) across all repositories with automated PR scanning
• Implement DAST scanning (OWASP ZAP) for staging environments with scheduled scans
• Deploy secrets detection tooling (e.g., GitLeaks, TruffleHog) across all repositories
• Establish a baseline security posture through initial penetration test; document and prioritise remediation backlog

Requirements
Have deep expertise in:

• AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Lambda)
• CI/CD (Bitbucket Pipelines or similar), gated deployments
• Security tooling: Snyk, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, Kali Linux
