Role Overview

At Arrow Electronics, our Cloud Security Engineer role in Ahmedabad, India, is at the forefront of safeguarding cutting-edge cloud infrastructures. With over a decade of experience required, this position demands a seasoned professional who thrives in dynamic, high-stakes environments. You'll be the guardian of our AWS-based production systems, ensuring that every container, cluster, and service operates within a fortress of security protocols. Imagine diving deep into the complexities of Amazon Web Services, leveraging tools like GuardDuty for threat detection and CloudTrail for audit trails, all while collaborating with elite teams to preempt cyber threats. This isn't just a job; it's a mission-critical role where your expertise directly fortifies Arrow's global operations against evolving digital risks.

The essence of this role lies in proactive defense. You'll conduct meticulous vulnerability assessments using industry-leading platforms like Wiz and Qualys, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. Picture yourself orchestrating remediation strategies that span development, engineering, and infrastructure silos, fostering a culture of shared security responsibility. Proficiency in securing Kubernetes-based EKS clusters, ECS tasks, and Docker containers is non-negotiable, as these form the backbone of our cloud-native deployments. Compliance isn't optional here—PCI standards must be woven into every process, with weekly reports that keep stakeholders informed and confident.

Beyond technical prowess, this role rewards those with a security mindset: analytical thinkers who can dissect anomalies, script automations to scale defenses, and communicate complex risks in simple terms. If you hold certifications like AWS Security Specialty or CCSP, you'll hit the ground running, contributing immediately to Arrow's commitment to innovation and resilience in Ahmedabad's burgeoning tech ecosystem.

Day in the Life

Your day as a Cloud Security Engineer at Arrow Electronics in Ahmedabad begins at 9 AM in our state-of-the-art Ognaj facility, part of eInfochips. After a quick team huddle over chai, you dive into Splunk dashboards, reviewing overnight GuardDuty alerts for potential intrusions. By 10:30, you're running a Qualys scan on EKS clusters, prioritizing high-severity vulnerabilities and pinging the dev team via Slack for immediate patches.

Lunch at 1 PM is a vibrant affair in the cafeteria, networking with peers from engineering services. Post-lunch, you collaborate on a Docker security hardening session, scripting automated compliance checks in Python. Afternoons involve crafting your weekly PCI report, pulling metrics from CloudTrail logs and Wiz posture summaries. A 3 PM cross-functional meeting ensures alignment on remediation timelines, followed by staying ahead of trends via AWS re:Post or security blogs.

As the day winds down around 6 PM, you might mentor a junior analyst or tweak an IaC template for better security. It's a rhythm of vigilance, collaboration, and continuous learning, all set against Ahmedabad's dynamic skyline.
