What you need

  • Expert-level product security skills including threat modeling using STRIDE or equivalent, security architecture review, OWASP Top 10 and beyond, API security, authentication and authorization design, and secure SDLC development
  • Deep expertise in securing cloud environments across Azure, AWS, and/or GCP, covering IAM architecture, network security, secrets management, container and Kubernetes security, and infrastructure as code security
