What you'll do

• Establish Tanium Cloud's Kubernetes Continuous Monitoring on both Azure and AWS to apply custom security standards and controls with DevOps practices.
• Consistently review and improve the Kubernetes security baseline design and performance via coding, testing processes, and automation.
• Create a sustained initiative to identify, evaluate, and detail exploitable configurations, vulnerabilities, and potential risks within our cloud and container builds and systems using SecDataOps.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends to proactively enhance security detection measures.
• Work alongside engineering, IT, and security teams to create and enhance our security standards with solutions that are both scalable and adaptable.
• Build, cultivate, and maintain positive relationships with internal customers to identify and facilitate solutions to increase the impact of the team's work.
• Be on periodic on-call for triage of critical alerts from detections and systems.
