  • Experience with at least one cloud provider, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and their security best practices.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and its security ecosystem, such as RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, eBPF, Falco, or Tetragon.
  • Strong systems mindset with attention to failure modes, performance, observability, and operability alongside security and correctness.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex security concepts and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
