• Proactively identify recurring sources of operational toil and engineer durable solutions that improve the team’s speed, consistency, and ability to scale.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to assess security risks, review lower-complexity designs and implementation plans, and make practical security tradeoffs to deliver quickly with quality and soundness.
