About The Job Mandiant Security Transformation Services (STS) helps organizations build an effective security operations program that minimizes organizational risk and reduces the impact of security breaches. With targeted focus in on-premises and cloud architecture, our consultants work from initial assessment, on-site workshops to explore clients on-premises and cloud environment, configuration review of security controls, to detailed practical technical recommendations to harden the on-premises and cloud environment, enhance visibility and detection, and improve processes to reduce the risk of compromise.

In this role, you will lead the operationalization of the Wiz platform, integrating multi-cloud environments to achieve total asset visibility. You will bridge the gap between Cloud Engineering and Security Operations (SOC) by tuning misconfiguration detection rules, integrating alerts into Security Information and Event Management/Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SIEM/SOAR) pipelines, and defining automated remediation responses using cloud-native tools and Python/API scripting. You will deliver actionable executive reports, collaborate daily with client stakeholders to drive risk reduction, and support incident response efforts. You will require proficiency in Wiz, supported by relevant cloud certifications.
