Job Description Cyber Security Analyst (AWS/Azure) We are seeking a detail-oriented Cyber Security Analyst to assess platforms, identify security risks, and help improve the organisation’s security posture across cloud and technology environments. This role has a strong focus on platform security assessments, cloud security posture management (CSPM), and the use of security tools to detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and control gaps. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and product teams to provide practical recommendations, support remediation, and promote secure-by-design practices. Key Responsibilities: Conduct security assessments of platforms, applications, and cloud environments to identify risks, misconfigurations, and control weaknesses. Use CSPM, vulnerability management, and related security tools to continuously monitor cloud and platform security posture. Review configurations across cloud services, infrastructure, identity, networking, containers, and platform components against security baselines and best practices. Analyse findings from security tools and prioritise remediation based on risk, exploitability, and business impact. Partner with engineering, DevOps, infrastructure, and product teams to define practical remediation plans and track closure of identified issues. Support secure design and architecture reviews for new and existing platforms. Validate that security controls are implemented effectively and aligned with organisational policies, standards, and regulatory requirements. Assist in developing and maintaining security assessment methodologies, procedures, standards, and reporting templates. Prepare clear, concise reports and dashboards summarising risks, trends, exceptions, and remediation progress for technical and non-technical stakeholders. Contribute to continuous improvement of the organisation’s cloud and platform security capabilities, including automation opportunities and tool optimisation. Stay current with emerging threats, cloud security risks, and evolving security tooling relevant to platform environments. This is a remote position. A remote position does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a Visa office location. Remote positions may be required to be present at a Visa office with scheduled notice.

Hands-on experience performing technical security assessments across cloud or platform environments.
