  • Lead day-to-day security operations, working closely with the India-based Security Analysts on monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management.
  • Architect and maintain a cloud security framework across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments used by Cellares
  • Own the security aspects of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including threat modeling, secure code review, and developer security training
  • Drive compliance efforts for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and life sciences-specific frameworks (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11, GxP)
  • Conduct and manage third-party risk assessments, vendor security reviews, and penetration testing engagements
  • Collaborate with IT, Engineering, Legal, and Operations to integrate security into all business processes
  • Manage and mentor the India-based Security Analysts, providing technical guidance, career development, and task prioritization
  • Lead incident response activities, conduct post-mortems, and implement lessons-learned improvements
  • Report on security metrics, risks, and program maturity to executive stakeholders
  • Bachelors in Computer Science, or related field
  • 8+ years of progressive information security experience with at least 2 years in a lead or senior individual contributor role
  • Strong hands-on experience with SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel), EDR platforms, and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Tenable, Qualys)
  • Deep knowledge of cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native security tools
  • Experience driving SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF compliance programs
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) for security tooling and response
