About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Container Security Engineer with strong expertise in Kubernetes security, container security, and cloud-native vulnerability management.

In this role, you will work towards strengthening the security posture of containerized workloads across a multi-cloud environment. You will collaborate with cloud developers, architects, and DevOps teams to identify security gaps, drive vulnerability remediation, secure container build and deployment pipelines, and establish security standards for cloud-native technologies.

Your expertise is your primary qualification, not your degree or certification. Your hands-on contributions, technical knowledge, and ability to solve real-world security challenges matter most.

Your Everyday Work Will Look Like

Assess, evaluate, and harden containerized environments and Kubernetes clusters, identifying security gaps and driving remediation.

Manage the complete vulnerability management lifecycle for container workloads, including vulnerability scanning, prioritization, tracking, remediation coordination, and closure verification.

Secure container images, build processes, deployment pipelines, and container registries by implementing image integrity and registry governance practices.

Configure, manage, and optimize CNAPP/CWPP security tools to meet cloud security visibility, monitoring, and compliance requirements.

Perform security assessments and threat modelling for containerized and serverless architectures.

Identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across container workloads and collaborate with development and platform teams to resolve them.





Design and implement automated security remediation workflows to improve remediation efficiency and reduce resolution time.

Implement security scanning and assessment practices for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), including Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm.

Establish, monitor, and enforce vulnerability remediation SLAs across teams, ensuring timely resolution and accountability.

Maintain detailed vulnerability tracking, including ownership assignment, remediation status, exception handling, escalation, and closure verification.

Develop security metrics, dashboards, and reports to provide leadership with visibility into container security posture and remediation progress.

Collaborate with globally distributed cloud engineering, architecture, development, and DevOps teams in an Agile delivery environment.

What Makes You a Good Fit?

3-5 years of experience in Cloud Security, with a strong focus on Container Security, Kubernetes Security, and Vulnerability Management.

Hands-on experience securing Kubernetes clusters, Docker containers, and containerized workloads in production environments.

Practical experience with CNAPP/CWPP platforms in an enterprise environment.

Strong understanding of container image security, image scanning, runtime security, container registries, and workload hardening.





Experience working with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Knowledge of container security best practices, Kubernetes security configurations, access controls, and network policies.

Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanning using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Helm.

Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Go for security automation and tool integration.

Understanding of CI/CD security, DevSecOps practices, and secure container build and deployment pipelines.

Experience managing vulnerability remediation, security exceptions, remediation SLAs, and security reporting.

Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical security findings into actionable recommendations.

Valuable to Have

- Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
- Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP).
- Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK).
- AWS Certified Security Specialty.
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate.
- Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer.

What We Value

Strong hands-on technical expertise and practical problem-solving ability.

A security-first mindset with the ability to identify and address risks proactively.

Ownership of security issues from identification through remediation and closure.

Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Clear technical documentation and communication skills.

Continuous learning and staying updated with emerging container and cloud-native security threats.
