• Maintain automated deployment pipelines for security controls, incident response playbooks (SOAR) and continuous monitoring.
• Translate security policies into automated, code-driven solutions with stakeholders.
• Follow information security, secure software development lifecycle and compliance standards such as ISO, NIST and SOX.
