  • 8+ years of experience in information security with a focus on SaaS, cloud, identity, or platform security.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with SSPM, CASB, SaaS threat protection, or related security technologies.
  • Experience securing enterprise SaaS ecosystems and managing application risk at scale.
  • Strong knowledge of OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML/SSO, API permission models, and modern SaaS security architectures.
  • Proficiency in automation, scripting, and integrating security controls through APIs and governance frameworks.
  • Relevant cloud or information security certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security, or Azure Security are preferred.
