Collaborate with architects, infrastructure specialists, and application teams to integrate security into technical designs and delivery processes.
Provide expert guidance on security architecture, risk mitigation, and the implementation of pragmatic security controls.
At least 5 years of professional experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure security, or cloud security within enterprise environments.
Strong hands-on experience with web proxy configuration, deployment, troubleshooting, and security hardening.
Proven experience securing and operating OpenShift/Kubernetes platforms.
Practical experience with service mesh technologies, particularly Istio or Red Hat Service Mesh.
