  • Strong knowledge of container security, including image scanning, distroless or minimal base images, and runtime security.
  • Experience with software supply chain security tooling and frameworks such as Sigstore, SLSA, and SBOM generation.
  • Solid understanding of OWASP, NIST, and cloud security frameworks and how to apply them pragmatically.
