* Championing automation, DevSecOps, and cutting-edge cloud-native tools
* Turning frameworks like OWASP, MITRE & CIS into real-world engineering impact
What You Bring
* A proven track record leading high-performing security engineering teams
* Deep technical roots: from EDRs to WAFs, Kubernetes to IAM, you’ve been there
* A passion for doing things differently, and better
* The ability to think strategically and deliver tactically
