This Operations Specialist, Information Security role is built for someone early in their career who is curious, hungry to learn, and excited to get their hands on real security tooling across a modern cloud environment. You'll be mentored by experienced engineers while contributing real work from day one.

What you'll be doing

• Support the day-to-day operations of our security tool stack - learning how each technology works, why it matters, and how to keep it healthy and producing actionable signals.
• Help correlate and analyze data across multiple security platforms to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to reduce risk using a pragmatic, risk-based approach.
• Assist in triaging vulnerability and bug bounty findings, collaborating with engineering and product teams to track and drive timely remediation.
• Contribute to automation projects that eliminate repetitive manual tasks, including building and refining workflows in our agentic AI security platform.
• Support the evaluation of new security technologies by researching capabilities, documenting findings, and participating in proof-of-value testing.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to communicate risk clearly and help prioritize remediation using a risk-based approach.
• Explore how AI can be applied to optimize existing security capabilities and surface insights faster  and bring ideas to the team.
• Learn from senior engineers through structured mentorship, code reviews, and collaborative incident response exercises.
• Other duties as assigned. 

What you should have

• At least 1 year of experience in information security, Information Technology, or a closely related field - internships, academic projects, and home labs all count.
• Basic familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and an eagerness to learn cloud-specific threats and defenses.
• A foundational understanding of common attack techniques and the concepts behind defending against them.
• Exposure to scripting or automation in Python, Bash, or PowerShell, and curiosity about using AI coding assistants to build tooling.
• Strong analytical thinking - you enjoy breaking down a problem, forming a hypothesis, and testing the solution.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; you can explain a technical concept to a non-technical stakeholder.
• Self-motivated with a bias toward action - you don't wait to be told what to do next.
• A genuine curiosity-driven mindset: you read security blogs, chase CVEs for fun, or tinker with capture-the-flag challenges.

Optional Requirements

• An entry-level security certification such as CompTIA Security+, Google Cybersecurity Certificate, or equivalent coursework or degree.
• Hands-on experience managing or configuring a security tool (SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanner, etc.).
• Participation in CTF competitions, bug bounty programs, or security research of any kind.
