You will play a key role in embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle across Enterprise Applications platforms.

Working closely with development and platform teams, you will implement secure-by-design principles, automate security controls, and establish developer-friendly guardrails that enable rapid delivery with reduced risk.

You will also have a solid understanding of network security concepts, including firewalls, web application firewalls (WAF), and Zero Trust architectures.
