  • Hands-on expertise in securing at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or AliCloud) in production.
  • Deep knowledge of cloud-native security controls including IAM, network security, encryption, and logging services.
  • Experience using policy-as-code frameworks to enforce security guardrails at scale.
