Vulnerability Management: Manage DAST, dependency, container, and infrastructure scanning; tune tooling to minimize noise, triage findings with leads, and drive remediation.
Cloud & Platform Security: Harden cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters, managing secrets, image security, and supply-chain hygiene alongside DevOps.
Identity & Access Management: Handle day-to-day access requests, strengthen SSO/OAuth/OIDC and SCIM-based provisioning, and run periodic offboarding audits and access reviews.
Corporate Security & Awareness: Raise the baseline for organizational tools, endpoints, and phishing resilience through practical team training.
Detection, Response & Compliance: Build security logging on our observability stack, lead technical incident response, conduct vendor assessments, and supply technical evidence for GDPR and compliance.
