- Automate deployment processes and CI/CD pipelines to support rapid and safe software releases.
- Enhance DevSecOps practices by embedding security controls and policies early into the development lifecycle.
- Build and maintain RESTful APIs to integrate security tools, enrich threat intelligence, and enable automated response capabilities.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with developers, engineers, architects, and security teams to harden cloud environments and reduce security risks.
- Monitor cloud services for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance violations using both open-source and commercial tools.
- Lead the troubleshooting of complex production issues and drive root cause analysis to resolution.
