• Define and implement security strategies for containerized workloads (Kubernetes, Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Drive security automation initiatives, integrating security tooling such as SAST, DAST, CSPM, and vulnerability scanners into engineering pipelines.
• Collaborate with development and platform engineering teams to build secure-by-design architectures and shift security left in the SDLC.
• Work with cloud security teams to enhance IAM policies, network security, and data protection strategies in cloud environments.
• Develop and refine security-as-code methodologies to automate policy enforcement and compliance adherence.
• Ensure compliance with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, while implementing engineering-friendly security controls.
• Establish risk management metrics and reporting frameworks to provide visibility into security posture and DevSecOps maturity.
• Drive security awareness and training programs for developers, empowering them to own security within their workflows.
• Partner with incident response teams to develop cloud-native detection and response mechanisms, ensuring robust security incident management.
• security risks. Collaborate with engineering and product teams.

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, with a strong focus on DevSecOps, cloud security, and secure engineering practices.
• Expertise in AWS security, Kubernetes security, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Hands-on experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of application security, API security, and secure coding best practices.
• Proficiency with security tooling such as SAST, DAST, CSPM, SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability management platforms.
• Experience with cloud identity and access management (IAM), network security, and secrets management.
• Ability to work closely with software engineers and SREs to develop scalable, secure infrastructure solutions.
• Exceptional ability to manage complex projects, align multiple stakeholders, and drive security initiatives across engineering teams.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate security concepts into actionable engineering requirements.

Nice to Have:

• Experience leading DevSecOps transformation in AI/ML environments.
• Hands-on experience with Zero Trust architectures and API security frameworks (OAuth, JWT, mTLS).
• Industry certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), CISSP, or CISM.
• Contributions to security communities, research, or open-source security projects.
