Requirements

• Baseline (Mandatory): Strong hands-on experience with AWS CDK and TypeScript for security-as-code automation

• Experience supporting strict PCI-scoped fintech audits and CSPM frameworks

• Identity & Secrets Management: Advanced IAM expertise (roles, trust policies, permission boundaries, SCPs, IRSA/EKS Pod Identity), Secrets Manager, External Secrets Operator, and KMS/MRK envelope encryption

• Supply Chain & Application Security: SAST tools (SonarQube, CodeQL), Dependabot, and software supply chain security (image signing and provenance via Cosign/SLSA) integrated with CDK & TypeScript
