• Ensure the API connections are secure, efficient, and robust.
• Implement automated data collection processes from various SaaS platforms.
• Deliverable: Data is extracted regularly from the target SaaS systems and stored in Pure’s system of record (i.e. Obsidian Security),
• Data Analysis and Compliance Requirements:
• Analyze the gathered data to identify security vulnerabilities due to misconfiguration.
• Work closely with the security architecture team to define secure operating parameters for various SaaS applications.
• Use the data to gather information about integrations with other systems.
• Where frameworks such as a CIS benchmark exists, use the data to identify compliance issues with the expected operating profile.
• Deliverable: A documented mapping of configuration data from SaaS systems to configuration state and security requirements, with parameters for passing and failing clearly defined.
• Visualization and Reporting:
• Utilize statistical methods and machine learning techniques where applicable to enhance analysis accuracy.
• Ensure that the implemented protocols are aligned with industry best practices and compliance requirements.
• Using the data from the platforms, create notifications for system owners when there is a gap in compliance.
• Deliverable: Dashboards and reports that provide actionable insights into the security posture of SaaS applications.
• Monitoring and Alerts:
• Where possible, leverage the Obsidian Security platform to monitor adherence to security policies within SaaS environments.
• Work with the SaaS Security Analyst and system owners to set up alerting mechanisms to notify relevant stakeholders of any detected anomalies or breaches in real time.
• Integrate these processes with existing ticketing workflows via Jira and ServiceNow
Job Qualifications:
• Candidates desired to have a BS degree, as they will need to be good at programmatic data analysis.
Must Have:
• Proficient in Python – preferred 5 years of experience but willing to • consider 3+ if candidate is a rockstar and performs well during interview.

Each of my candidates that I’m representing is my #1 priority. I work around the clock to move a process along, to search and network for other potential opportunities to pitch a candidate to. The entire recruiting cycle process is all about creating a smooth experience for both the candidate and client. I feel I do that by my attention to detail, organization and ability to communicate effectively with each individual candidate. On my time off, I love to cook for my wife and 2 kids and ran my first Triathlon this April in Napa.
