- Implement cloud security scanning and posture management, to prevent misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and drift across Azure environments
- Identify and address emerging risks related to AI/LLM usage across the SDLC
- Evaluate, implement, and operate Platform tooling, with a focus on automation and scalability
- Utilize AI to assist with all aspects of the engineering work: learning, investigations and debugging, creation and review of code
- Document Platform standards for secure coding
