• Execute vulnerability management programs and establish enterprise infrastructure hardening and operational resiliency
• Provide detection engineering and incident response support across security platforms
• Partner closely across Corporate IT, Network Engineering, Central Cloud Infrastructure, Enterprise Systems, and platform engineering teams
