• Container & Workload Security: Implement and maintain security practices for containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) and serverless architectures
• Posture Management & Triage: Manage CSPM/CNAPP platforms, investigate high-priority alerts, and reduce noise through automated risk scoring and alert tuning
• Threat Modeling & Reviews: Conduct architectural security reviews and threat modeling for new cloud features, infrastructure changes, and third-party integrations

• * Container & Pipeline Security: Practical experience securing Kubernetes/EKS and configuring CI/CD security scanners (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• * Networking & Identity: Solid understanding of cloud networking (VPCs, Transit Gateways, WAF, DNS) and identity management (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML)
• * Compliance & Frameworks: Familiarity with mapping cloud controls to industry frameworks (CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2)
