What we're looking for: - 5+ years of experience in cloud-native security or DevSecOps. - 3+ years of experience with Bash or Python. - Deep, hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI. - Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) and identity/access management platforms (Okta, Azure AD, or similar). - Real exposure to at least one of: OAuth/token architecture, AI/LLM-assisted tooling security, or agentic workflow design - Solid understanding of operating systems and networking fundamentals. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience, but not required if you have the experience above.
