  • 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.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, automation, and scripting skills.
  • Experience working in financial services or other highly regulated industries (preferred).
