Information Security Engineer

About the Role - Information Security Engineer

We are looking for a Security Engineer who can own both the hands-on technical security stack and our governance/compliance programs.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will:

Harden and monitor our cloud & container infrastructure (AWS/EKS, endpoints, network).

Run vulnerability management, security tooling and incident response.

Help maintain our ISMS and support audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, RBI, DPDP, etc.).

This is ideal for someone who doesn’t want to be only “checklist GRC” or only “pure blue-team”, but wants a blended role across security engineering + GRC.Key Responsibilities
1. Cloud & Infrastructure Security (Hands-on)

Work with DevOps to secure our AWS/EKS environment:

IAM hardening, security groups, VPC, KMS, S3, RDS, etc.

Review infra-as-code (Terraform/Helm) for security issues and misconfigurations.

Own or co-own key security tools:

Endpoint / EDR (e.g., CrowdStrike / SentinelOne),

Cloud security (CSPM / CNAPP, GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, etc.),

Container / runtime security where applicable.

Implement and maintain logging & monitoring for security events (CloudTrail, ALB/NLB logs, K8s logs, etc.), and integrate them with SIEM / alerting.

2. Vulnerability Management & Security Operations

Own the vulnerability management lifecycle:

Run periodic scans for cloud, endpoints, containers and apps.

Triage findings, prioritise based on risk, and drive closure with engineering.

Coordinate external pentests / bug bounties and track remediation.

Support incident response:

Help investigate alerts, gather evidence, and contribute to RCA and CAPA.

Maintain and update incident runbooks.

3. Governance, Risk & Compliance (ISMS, Audits, DPDP)

Maintain and enhance the Information Security Management System (ISMS):

Policies, procedures, SoA, risk register, control evidence and audit trails.

Support internal and external audits: ISO 27001, SOC 2, RBI/CERT-In, Data Protection.

Prepare and manage audit evidence, observations, closure reports and certification documentation.

Assist with risk assessments:

Maintain the risk register, risk treatment plans and residual risk reviews.

Conduct vendor security due diligence and maintain vendor security records (MSA, NDA, DPA, DPIA, etc.).

Support privacy & regulatory compliance operations (GDPR/DPDP basics: retention, consent, grievance logging).

4. Access, Asset & Control Assurance

Participate in and help automate access reviews, asset inventory checks, and configuration compliance checks.

Track control performance (vuln SLAs, access reviews, backup tests, etc.) and ensure gaps are documented and closed.

Maintain security awareness and training trackers (onboarding, annual refreshers, phishing simulations).

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Cybersecurity or related discipline.

~4 years of experience in security engineering, cloud security, or GRC/compliance (any mix, but must be comfortable hands-on).

Good understanding of:

Security engineering fundamentals: Linux, networking, IAM, encryption, least privilege.

Cloud platforms (AWS preferred; GCP/Azure a plus) and their security services.

Core frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2, basic risk management and audit lifecycle.

Comfortable with:

Writing/debugging basic scripts (Bash/Python) for automation and data extraction.

Tools like Jira, Confluence, Excel/Sheets and at least one GRC / security platform (e.g., Scrut/Drata/Secureframe, etc.).

Strong documentation skills and ability to talk to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred (Good to Have) / Willing to Learn

Cloud security certifications (e.g., AWS Security / AWS Cloud Practitioner).

ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC.

Experience with:

EDR/XDR tools,

CSPM/CNAPP (e.g., Wiz, Prisma, Defender for Cloud),

SIEM, WAF, runtime/container security (Falco, etc.).

Exposure to GDPR/DPDP or other data protection regimes.

Who You Are

You enjoy both:

Getting your hands dirty in logs, configs and cloud consoles, and

Keeping things clean in policies, risk registers and audit trackers.

You’re structured and process-oriented, but still pragmatic and capable of shipping improvements.

You’re comfortable collaborating with DevOps, backend, data, HR and legal to get security actually implemented, not just written down.

You want to grow into either Security Engineering leadership (owning tools/architecture) or GRC leadership (owning audits and certifications) over the next few years.
