In this role, you’ll take ownership of our security framework across infrastructure, networks, endpoints, and data—contributing to our global technology delivery and ensuring our systems are safe, secure, and resilient.

You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to embed security best practices throughout our development and operational lifecycles, using automation and DevSecOps principles to reduce risk, drive efficiency, and support compliance. This is a hands-on engineering role, where you'll also act as a technical liaison for external security certifications and audits.

• Act as the primary control point during security incidents and lead incident response coordination.
• Develop and maintain a strategy for audits and compliance activities, including ISO 27001 and external security assessments.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by integrating security into code delivery workflows and providing guidance on Azure DevSecOps best practices.
• Promote secure coding practices through integration of tools such as SAST/DAST, SonarQube, TLS/Cert management, and more.
