  • Utilize Generative AI tools to accelerate the development of security automation and Infrastructure as Code scanning.
  • Define security standards for AWS Cloud and container environments, including logging and audit correlation.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on modern security tooling and complex configurations.
  • Develop comprehensive technical documentation, processes, and procedures to ensure engineering excellence.
