Lead efforts in runtime protection, including workload scanning, intrusion detection, and anomaly alerting. Ensure centralized, secure log collection, monitoring, and alerting across all infrastructure components.

Establish internal security policies, operational procedures, and regular audit activities. Lead the adoption of security by design across engineering functions. Embed continuous security testing into our CI / CD pipelines. Maintain a developer-centric approach to security—minimizing friction while enforcing strong protections.

Keep pace with evolving security threats, technologies, and tools, proactively updating controls and detection mechanisms.
