• Design, build, and maintain secure architecture patterns for containerized, cloud-native, and distributed workloads
• Develop and maintain automated security tooling, such as container image scanning, IaC validation, and policy-as-code
• Collaborate on automated security tooling for container image scanning, IaC validation, and RBAC compliance
• Support incident response workflows, including detection, forensics, root cause analysis, and post-mortems
• Provide technical mentorship and real-time enablement to help teams adopt a “secure-by-default” mindset
• Contribute to internal security tools and automation using Python, Go, or other modern languages
• Continuously improve how we measure and scale security across our SRE and infrastructure platforms
