  • Deep understanding of cloud security architecture, identity and access management, logging, threat detection, and governance.
  • Experience securing modern cloud workloads including Kubernetes, containerized applications, CI/CD pipelines, and serverless technologies.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code technologies such as Terraform and CloudFormation.
  • Experience building automation using languages such as Python, Go, Rust, or similar technologies.
