• Strong hands-on experience with Azure or AWS (IaaS and PaaS).
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Bash or C#).
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes, with working knowledge of Helm.
• Solid grasp of security fundamentals (IAM, WAF, vulnerability management).
• Experience with CSPM/KSPM tooling, network security controls, and secrets management (Azure Key Vault).

• Build, maintain and continuously improve automated deployment pipelines using DevOps best practice.
• Drive security testing, vulnerability scanning and remediation across production, data and operational infrastructure.
• Set the standard for security best practice - policies, risk assessments, controls and processes and guide the wider infrastructure team.
• Keep a live watch on emerging security threats and industry trends, and get ahead of risk before it becomes an incident.
• Partner closely with our engineering teams to embed security into applications and tooling from the start.
• Identify infrastructure and security uplift work and lead it end to end.
