• Perform deep-dive, security-focused code reviews and mentor developers on secure coding patterns to minimize the introduction of high-impact vulnerabilities.
• Architect and manage the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle, developing sophisticated automation for the triage, reporting, and remediation tracking of security flaws across cloud infrastructure and application layers.
• Orchestrate and optimize AI-driven security workflows, leveraging LLMs and autonomous agents to conduct scaleable, proactive vulnerability discovery and validation within our CI/CD pipelines.
• Lead "Shift-Left" initiatives by integrating security checkpoints into the automation stack, developing custom security-as-code tools that empower developers to own security outcomes.
• Oversee the strategic direction of our private and public bug-bounty programs, ensuring high-quality engagement with the researcher community and rapid internal response to critical findings.
• Coordinate specialized external penetration testing engagements and customer-driven security assessments, acting as the primary technical point of contact for complex security inquiries.
• Drive the technical response to application-level security incidents, conducting root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence and enhance our defensive posture.

• Deep architectural understanding of AWS and Azure environments, including Kubernetes/Docker container security and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI and LLM technologies to automate security tasks, such as automated vulnerability validation or code analysis at scale.
• Expertise in scripting and development (Python, Node.js, Shell) to build custom security tooling and integrations.
• Comprehensive knowledge of web protocols, OWASP Top 10, and advanced threat frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF).
• Proven track record in ethical hacking, CTF competitions, or bug bounty hunting, showcasing a high level of technical tenacity and analytical rigor.
• Exceptional cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate complex security risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
