- Troubleshoot complex security issues in production environments, conducting deep technical analysis and implementing fixes quickly
- Implement GKE security controls
- Build and maintain cloud security infrastructure using Terraform
- Configure GCP security services such as VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, Cloud Armor policies, IAM roles, and Secret Manager
- Execute API security assessments by conducting security reviews, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing remediation
- Execute vulnerability remediation workflows for application, container, Cloud, and SaaS vulnerabilities within defined SLAs
- Build security dashboards and reporting to track vulnerability MTTR, security control effectiveness, and false positive rates
- Conduct deep technical security assessments—API, application, GKE, and infrastructure layers—and implement durable, production-ready solutions.
- Serve as a technical escalation point for cloud, IAM, GKE, and Terraform-related security issues; provide expert troubleshooting for high-severity incidents.
- Implement advanced GCP security controls including VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, sensitive service perimeter enforcement, and automated IAM governance.
- Partner with Infrastructure, Platform, AppSec, and Compliance teams to ensure a unified, secure-by-default cloud architecture.

- OSCP or comparable hands-on offensive-security certifications (e.g., OSEP, GXPN, PNPT) demonstrating strong adversarial reasoning and exploit-focused problem-solving capability.
- Practical familiarity with offensive-security methodologies—attack-chain decomposition, exploitation fundamentals, and red-team tradecraft—and their application to cloud-native threat modeling and control design.
- Experience or interest in applied security research, such as vulnerability discovery, protocol or infrastructure analysis, and evaluation of emerging attack surfaces (e.g., AI/ML pipelines, agentic systems, supply-chain security).
