Job Description:
Hands-on security engineer responsible for implementing, tuning, and scaling Web Application Firewall (WAF) protections across cloud-based web and API environments.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

  • Implement, operate, and maintain WAF protections across web and API applications
  • Write and optimize WAF rules (custom rules, bot controls, rate limiting, managed rules)
  • Monitor logs and alerts to identify threats and reduce false positives
  • Apply WAF protections to endpoints, hostnames, and API gateways
  • Partner with IR/SOC teams to support incident triage and mitigation
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to embed WAF into architecture and SDLC
  • Integrate WAF controls into CI/CD pipelines

  • Maintain documentation (runbooks, playbooks, procedures)
  • Participate in on-call rotation for production security issues

Requirements:

    • Experience securing APIs and web applications in AWS environments
    • Ability to analyze logs using tools like Splunk or similar observability platforms
    • Scripting experience in Python or Go (Bash acceptable)
    • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible)
    • Knowledge of AWS networking (CloudFront, ALB, API Gateway) and WAF integrations
    • Experience supporting incident response (triage, not command leadership)
    • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows (GitHub required)
    • Ability to identify misconfigurations (e.g., overly permissive S3 bucket policies)
    • Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and security teams
  • Nice-to-Haves:
    • Experience automating WAF configurations at scale
    • Familiarity with CDN integrations and performance considerations (latency with WAF)
    • Experience with GitHub Actions and Lambda
    • Security certifications (GIAC, GWAPT, CISSP, CSSLP)
    • Exposure to GCP or Azure security tools (Cloud Armor, Front Door)
