• Lead the development and enforcement of security architecture and operational best practices
• Implement and maintain a secure, automated CI/CD pipeline
• Establish monitoring, alerting, and incident response strategies across environments
• Define and execute on security roadmaps (e.g., threat modeling, vulnerability scanning, IAM policies)

• History of leading incident response or large-scale reliability improvements
• Strong communication skills across engineering and non-technical stakeholders
