• Partner with infrastructure and research engineers to embed security into high-performance compute clusters, enabling rapid model training and deployment without compromising protection.
• Develop automation and detection tooling to continuously identify and mitigate risks in large-scale cloud and on-prem environments.
• Drive high-impact initiatives such as line-speed encryption, machine identity, and network isolation, continuously raising the security bar for emerging AI workloads.
• Lead or participate in design reviews and threat models to ensure new systems launch with strong security foundations and operational excellence.

- Deep understanding of security principles, best practices, and common vulnerabilities.
- Expertise in securing large-scale cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP), including multi-cloud networks and cloud-agnostic system design.
- Familiarity with container and orchestration security (Kubernetes, service meshes) and modern authentication/authorization standards (OIDC, mTLS, SPIFFE/SPIRE).
- A proactive mindset, with the ability to identify and address security gaps or inefficiencies through automation and tooling.
- A track record of delivering scalable solutions and driving impactful changes across infrastructure in real-world projects.
