* Hands-on experience embedding application security into the SDLC
* Experience securing APIs, internet-facing services, and Kubernetes (preferably AKS) and containerised environments
* Experience working with engineering teams and implementing security testing tools (SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA)
* Knowledge of security automation, security-/policy-as-code, and secure engineering practices (code review, testing, source control, documentation)
* Familiar with CI/CD tools such as GitHub and GitHub Actions
* Highly skilled in Terraform and Python
* Strong understanding of Azure security controls and cloud security governance
* Experience with threat modelling in software engineering contexts
