Hybrid AI-Powered Penetration Testing Platform Engineer - Irving, TX | TCS Job

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

Required Skills & Experience

•Experience: 7+ years in platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, or security engineering roles, with demonstrable experience delivering and operating complex third-party or hybrid platforms in enterprise environments.

Cloud-Native Engineering (Core Requirement):

•Deep, hands-on cloud-native engineering expertise across AWS and/or GCP — including compute (EC2, GCE), container orchestration (EKS, GKE), networking (VPC, PrivateLink, VPN, firewall), IAM, and storage.

•Strong proficiency in IaC tooling — Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent — for enterprise-grade infrastructure provisioning and configuration management.

•Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for platform and infrastructure deployment using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent.

Containerization expertise: Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) for managing cloud-hosted application components.

Third-Party Platform Lifecycle Management:

•Proven experience owning the full lifecycle of complex third-party or vendor platforms — from initial build and certification through integration, deployment, and ongoing operational management.

•Familiarity with enterprise technology risk, platform certification, and vendor management processes in regulated or large-scale environments.

Hybrid Platform Architecture:

•Strong understanding of hybrid platform architectures combining cloud-hosted and on-premises components, including network connectivity patterns, data flow design, and operational complexity management across mixed environments.

•Experience managing platform components split across cloud provider infrastructure and customer-managed on-premises or co-location environments.

Integration Engineering:

•Proficiency in API design and integration development — REST, webhooks, event-driven connectors — for connecting third-party platforms into enterprise security ecosystems (SIEM, SOAR, vulnerability management, ticketing).

•Experience with data pipeline and transformation patterns for security finding ingestion and workflow automation.

Security & Offensive Security Context:

•Working knowledge of penetration testing methodologies, vulnerability management, and offensive security operations — sufficient to configure, scope, and enable an AI-powered penetration testing platform effectively.

•Understanding of enterprise security controls, network segmentation, and least-privilege principles as applied to offensive security tooling within a production environment.

Platform Operations:

•Strong operational engineering skills including platform monitoring, alerting, incident response, patching, and capacity management for business-critical security platforms.

•Experience with observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring) for hybrid platform health management.

Certifications (Preferred but not required): AWS Solutions Architect or Security Specialty, Google Professional Cloud Architect or Security Engineer, OSCP, CISSP, or CCSP.
