Conduct code and infrastructure reviews to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities, guiding teams in implementing secure, repeatable patterns.
Automate currently manual security tasks, establishing scalable guardrails as the company expands.
Collaborate with platform teams to bolster cloud security in AWS or Google Cloud, avoiding common pitfalls.
Support the implementation of security controls necessary for SOC 2, ISO, and similar standards as we grow.
