• Provide trouble resolution and serve as point of technical escalation on complex problems
• Act as a subject matter expert among peers, with manager and senior management
• Lead the design and implementation of DevSecOps solutions integrated into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins)
• Integrate and tune AppSec tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning) for scalable pipeline adoption
• Own and optimize CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud) to improve cloud security posture and workload protection
• Partner with engineering teams to reduce vulnerability backlog and MTTR
• Define KPIs and reporting for security posture, pipeline coverage, and risk reduction
• Establish guardrails for AI-generated code security, including validation of outputs and mitigation of risks such as insecure code patterns and data exposure
• Embed security controls into AI-enabled applications and APIs, addressing emerging risks (e.g., prompt injection, model misuse)
• Create presentations and seek IT management approval and acceptance of significant replacements or reconfigurations of major security systems serving the Enterprise
