• Experience with regulatory frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, SOC, GDPR) and providing evidence for compliance and audit needs.
• Experience tracking trends and configure systems as required to reduce false positives from true events.
• Process Improvement: Drive continuous improvement in the efficiency of vulnerability remediation through automation, ticketing system integration (e.g., Jira), and process streamlining.
• Influence & Collaboration – Demonstrable experience building strong partnerships in a matrixed organization.
• Technical – Intermediate understanding of product security issues (like XXE, SSRF, Injections, etc.), modern software development (fully automated CI/CD, REST, OAuth2) including multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Containers, Kubernetes) architectures, particularly Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Risk-Based Decision Making – Experience making informed decisions through balancing business priorities, technical constraints, and risk exposure.
• Certifications like CISSP, CISA, CySA+, AWS Certs, or CCNSE, or other relevant certifications are preferred.
