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.

Support compliance initiatives by building and documenting enforceable security controls. Work with auditors and risk teams to demonstrate maturity of security processes and ongoing improvements. 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. Build scalable policies and automation for secrets management, code signing, and environment hardening. Keep pace with evolving security threats, technologies, and tools, proactively updating controls and detection mechanisms. Represent security posture to executive and customer stakeholders with clarity and confidence. 6+ years of experience in security engineering with a primary focus on application and cloud security Proficiency with programming languages like, Java, Python, JavaScript and web technologies (e.g., HTML, CSS, SQL).
