[Hiring] AI and Cloud Security Analyst @TD SYNNEX

Role Description

As our AI and Cloud Security Analyst, you provide day-to-day L2 coverage of the AI security detection fabric — triaging and supporting investigation of AI-specific detections from runtime defense, behavioral/intent monitoring, model-security, and adversarial-testing platforms. You turn that telemetry into insight through data analytics and produce the OCR (operational, compliance, and risk) reporting that gives leadership, control owners, and auditors a continuous picture of AI and cloud risk. You also help monitor the security posture of our Azure, AWS, and GCP environments. You escalate to a dedicated L3 engineer and work alongside two AI & Cloud Security Architects.

Responsibilities

• L2 coverage of the AI Security toolset
• Monitor AI security detections across the detection fabric — runtime defense/AIDR events, intent and behavioral anomalies, model-level detections, and adversarial-testing signals.
• Validate detections, classify severity and impact, propose and implement policy updates, and escalate complex cases to L3 with complete, reusable context.
• Investigate AI-specific events across all five AI archetypes:
• Embedded SaaS copilots
• Low-code/no-code agents
• Homegrown agentic pipelines
• Device-based coding agents
• Homegrown models
• Support the AI asset-intelligence layer
• Data analytics: Query and correlate AI and security telemetry (KQL), identify anomalies and attack patterns, and build/maintain dashboards tracking the program's key metrics.
• OCR reporting (operational, compliance, and risk): Produce recurring dashboards and executive summaries communicating AI-security posture, KPIs, and trends to stakeholders and control owners.
• Maintain rigorous case documentation and shift/handover notes.
• Build working fluency in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, and MITRE ATLAS.
• Monitor and triage cloud security alerts across Azure, AWS, and GCP from company CSPM platform.
• Support cloud compliance monitoring and reporting against CIS Benchmarks and NIST 800-53 r5 / CSF 2.0 baselines.
• Assist with cloud workload vulnerability triage (VMs, containers, images) and with Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace security-signal review.
• Partner with the L3 engineer, SOC, cloud teams, and incident responders on investigations and enrichment spanning cloud, identity, endpoint, and AI telemetry.

Qualifications

• Solid security operations fundamentals: alert monitoring, triage, validation, incident classification, escalation, and case management against SLAs.
• Strong data analytics and reporting: KQL (and/or SQL) for querying and correlation; dashboard and report development.
• Foundational AI/GenAI security awareness: LLM risks, agentic AI and MCP concepts, AI guardrails, and familiarity with the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS.
• Working knowledge of cloud security in at least one of Azure/AWS/GCP.
• Scripting for automation and enrichment (PowerShell and/or Python).
• Familiarity with CIS Benchmarks and NIST (800-53, CSF); awareness of NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act is beneficial.
• Analytical rigor, attention to detail, and clear English communication across a globally distributed team.

Requirements

• Experience in SOC, security operations, cloud security, or security-analyst role with hands-on monitoring, triage, and investigation experience.
• Demonstrable experience producing analytics, dashboards, and reporting from security telemetry for technical and executive audiences.
• Experience supporting compliance or audit evidence collection (NIST, CIS, ISO, or similar) is a plus.
• Certifications are an advantage, not mandatory: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, SC-200, SC-900, AZ-500, AWS or GCP security/foundational credentials.
• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.

Working Conditions

• Willing to work nonstandard business hours for projects, business impact issues, and incident response.
• Some travel required.
• Flexible remote work.

Benefits

• Elective Benefits: Tailored to your country to best accommodate your lifestyle.
• Grow Your Career: Accelerate your path to success with formal programs on leadership and professional development.
• Elevate Your Personal Well-Being: Boost your financial, physical, and mental well-being through seminars, events, and our global Life Empowerment Assistance Program.
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Valuing every voice is how we succeed.
• Make the Most of our Global Organization: Network with other new co-workers within your first 30 days through our onboarding program.
• Connect with Your Community: Participate in internal, peer-led inclusive communities and activities.
