• Perform security-focused code reviews on request, providing targeted guidance on security-sensitive components and implementation decisions.
• Triage vulnerability and compliance testing results for technical implications, validate their applicability, determine exposure in a system/component context, and generate user stories for remediation efforts.
• Contribute to technical compliance strategies and hardening across cloud infrastructure, development/QA environments, and system components (such as FIPS-validated crypto configurations and network segmentation); implement quality gates and security test suites across development and build pipelines.
• Actively contribute to the success of Hypori’s Security Champions program.
• Participate in Engineering on-call rotations to provide application security expertise during incident triage and response.
