- Experience securing AI/ML systems or APIs, including governance of third-party AI integrations and organizational use of AI tools.
- Strong understanding of modern cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) and experience performing threat modeling and risk assessments on cloud-based systems.
- Hands-on experience with application security tooling (SAST, SCA, DAST) and embedding secure development practices.
- Demonstrated leadership in security incident response, investigations, and root cause analysis.
- Effective communicator with the ability to influence stakeholders and explain security concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong project management skills and the ability to drive initiatives to completion in a fast-paced environment.
