About the role

This hands‑on technical security compliance role ensures that systems, platforms and cloud services meet required security standards and hardening baselines.

• Strengthen policy and regulatory compliance, assessing technical exceptions, recommending compensating controls and maintaining high‑quality evidence for audits and assessments.
• Partner with engineering and platform teams to embed compliance into configuration management, reducing reliance on repeated manual remediation.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 4 years' experience within security compliance, systems administration or technical assurance, including hands‑on configuration verification.
• Exposure to UAE Information Assurance Standards, ISO/IEC 27001 or comparable security frameworks; certifications such as CISA, Security+, cloud or platform security are advantageous.

Required skills

• Enterprise vulnerability management and patch remediation.
• Security hardening and knowledge of CIS benchmarks.
• Scripting or query capabilities to gather evidence at scale.
• Technical knowledge of operating systems, cloud services, network devices and endpoints.
• Familiarity with ISO/IEC 27001 and UAE Information Assurance Standards.
