Your Role

What You Could Be Working On

You will also build knowledge discovery pipelines that surface institutional knowledge (policy research, compliance frameworks) into agent‑consumable layers for sharper decision‑making.
• Security & Vulnerability Management:Analyze Kubernetes deployment configurations to identify and fix security gaps. You will help manage the CVE lifecycle by identifying and patching vulnerabilities in container images to harden the platform.
• Tooling & Reliability:Develop internal tooling, testing harnesses, and security utilities to improve team productivity. You will also execute and validate API and cross‑service integration tests to ensure system reliability as the platform evolves.
