Implementation experience with deploy-time checks against Infrastructure as Code (IaC) / Terraform.
Implementation experience with runtime checks through Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks.
Upper-intermediate English level.
Nice to haves
Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and integrating them into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems.
Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation.
Advanced application threat modeling experience.
