Your role 

Reporting to the global head of cloud security at IHS Markit, your work will focus primarily on AWS with a secondary focus on VMC, Azure and/or GCP as needed. You will drive the design and implementation of solutions used to collect, correlate and perform inference on a wide variety of security telemetry and use the results to inform development of detection, prevention, response and prediction capabilities at IHS Markit. You will partner with other stakeholders to determine the best course of action for the usage of big data and AI/ML for the betterment of security.

Emphasis will be on the following objectives: 

• Design, implement, and support platform(s) to collect, normalize and provide access to a variety of security telemetry from public cloud and on-premise solutions
• Develop automation such as CI/CD and MLOps pipelines using cloud native tools for the purpose of data delivery and advanced analysis on datasets
• Use anomaly detection algorithms to proactively find anomalies and hunt for threats in time-series security telemetry
• Identify and deliver requirements to other members of the information security organization for the purpose of retrieving data sets and enriching or enhancing existing data feeds
• Serve as the technical product owner for any data related project within the global cloud security function and more broadly the entire information security organization
• Advise on a strategic direction of security big data processes and technology and mentor current and future members of the team on their usage
