• Support patching cycles and   golden-image   refreshes, and   help remove unused and outdated software from server estates.  

• Implement the controls and follow the runbooks, standards, and risk-based prioritization (in line with CISA guidance) set by the senior engineer and technical lead.  

• Track status accurately from assignment through verified   fix, and   flag blockers early.  

• Partner with application and platform teams to schedule and   validate   changes safely, and coordinate with the wider team across regions.  

• Grow your skills across application, infrastructure, and cloud security with support from senior engineers.

• Exposure to one or more of AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, and to on-premises infrastructure.  

• A basic understanding of security principles and common vulnerabilities, and of risk-based prioritization (CVSS and similar), with willingness to learn CISA KEV/EPSS in practice.
