  • Experience in container-based deployments (Kubernetes, Docker, GKE, EKS, AKS)
  • A strong understanding of how to architect, deploy, and maintain security tools and services, including agent based firewalls, IDS/IPS, and IDR tooling
  • Ability to research and validate security vulnerabilities and propose solutions for remediation or mitigation
  • Up-to-date knowledge of market trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in cloud security
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to solve significant complex technical problems
