  • · Collaborate with security and DevOps teams to enforce governance policies and implement automated guardrails.
  • · Assist in CI/CD pipeline integration for infrastructure automation.
  • · Develop and maintain security documentation for infrastructure, configurations, and best practices.

  • · Understanding of compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST) and cloud governance.
  • · Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployment.
  • · Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Nice to Have (Preferred, Not Required)
  • · Experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • · Familiarity with TypeScript & GraphQL (not a primary focus but a plus).
  • · Experience in cloud cost optimization strategies.
