  • Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform) and secure configuration management.
  • Experience with containers and orchestration (e.g., Docker, ECS, EKS, Kubernetes) and integrating security testing into CI/CD workflows.
  • Experience working under formal security and risk frameworks such as NIST 800-53/171, CMMC, FedRAMP, or ISO 27001.
