Deep experience with cloud identity and access platforms is especially important. Experience with data protection (DLP/DSPM) is a strong plus. What You Will Do Identity & Access Security - Engineer and operate identity security controls, including just‑in‑time access, privileged elevation, federation, conditional access, strong authentication, and least‑privilege patterns. - Strengthen identity governance across cloud and enterprise environments, including role design, access reviews, and lifecycle processes. Cloud Security & Governance - Build and maintain cloud guardrails across multi‑cloud environments (policies, blueprints, configuration rules, organizational guardrails). - Implement and tune cloud security posture / CNAPP capabilities to continuously monitor, prioritize, and reduce misconfigurations and exposed risks. - Analyze cloud IAM configurations and
