- Support integration with applications, databases, and cloud services

- Troubleshoot encryption and key access issues

Customer & Compliance Support

- Respond to customer security queries and support audits and due-diligence assessments

- Assist with compliance requirements including ISO 27001, MAS TRM, IM8, and PCI DSS

- Produce security health reports for management and project stakeholders

What We're Looking For

- 3-6 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience in an operational role

- Experience with vulnerability scanning tools (Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7, or similar)

- Practical experience with IAM platforms, preferably IBM ISAM

- Hands-on exposure to key management systems, ideally Thales KMS

- Solid grasp of cryptographic concepts: PKI, TLS, encryption at rest and in transit

- Familiarity with Linux and troubleshooting production security platforms

- Strong communication skills you'll engage directly with customers and auditors

Nice to Have

- Experience in regulated or government environments

- Cloud security and cloud KMS integration exposure

- Security certifications: CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or relevant vendor certifications
