- Partner on cloud and runtime security (Kubernetes, service mesh, identity, least privilege, policies).
- Lead incident response for application-layer vulnerabilities and coordinate with IR/ProdSec teams.
- Run training and gamified exercises; measure maturity with clear KPIs and risk reduction targets.
- 5+ years in AppSec or Security Engineering; strong software background (Python/Go/Java/JS).
- Hands-on with OWASP Top 10, cloud-native security, OAuth/OIDC, and modern auth patterns.
- Deep knowledge of CI/CD security, SBOMs, supply chain (Sigstore, attestations), and IaC scanning.
- Experience with container/Kubernetes hardening and policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper).
- Excellent communication; ability to influence and coach engineering teams.
- Threat modeling frameworks (STRIDE, LINDDUN) and adversary simulation experience.
