Performing penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and incident response.
Embedding security practices into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
Ensuring compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
Partnering with engineers to ensure security is a first-class part of system design.
Researching emerging threats and implementing countermeasures proactively.

Experience with SIEMs, IDS/IPS, firewalls, and vulnerability scanning.
Familiarity with cloud security (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Solid understanding of encryption, authentication, and authorization systems.
Proven track record of securing distributed, high-scale environments.
Strong collaboration and communication skills.
Ability to balance security rigor with business speed in a hyper-growth environment
