• Provide security awareness training and mentorship to cross‑functional teams.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience in information security, preferably in a SaaS or cloud environment.
• Strong knowledge of firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, endpoint protection, and zero‑trust networking.
• Proficiency with security tools such as Nessus, Burp Suite, Wireshark, and OpenVAS.
• Demonstrated expertise in scripting or programming (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation.
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, CEH, or AWS Security Specialty) are highly desired.
• Excellent analytical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to work independently in a fully remote setting.

Benefits

• Fully remote work – no commute, flexible schedule, and a home‑office stipend.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans with HSA contributions.
• 401(k) matching up to 5% and company‑wide profit‑sharing program.
• Generous paid time off (PTO) plus unlimited sick days.
