About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the design and governance of CI/CD pipelines — including automated testing, SAST/DAST scanning, dependency checks, and secrets detection.
Lead infrastructure-as-code and container orchestration practices, and drive automation initiatives that reduce manual effort and improve consistency at scale.
Apply engineering rigor to ML training pipelines, model serving infrastructure, and data supply chains.
Design and manage the AI infrastructure layer — including GPU/compute resource provisioning, model registry operations, experiment tracking, and inference scaling — across AWS and GCP.
Ensure AI systems are built, deployed, and monitored to the same reliability and security standards as core product services.
Lead end-to-end security across cloud, infrastructure, and product — spanning cloud posture management, API protection, runtime security, network segmentation, and secrets management across AWS and GCP environments.
Define and enforce security policies, standards, and best practices that balance delivery speed with a strong compliance posture.
Anticipate operational risks, drive preventative measures, and lead rapid incident response across environments.
Translate security and engineering requirements into actionable roadmaps.
Define and track KPIs that demonstrate delivery effectiveness and inform prioritization.
Act as a trusted security advisor to engineering squads and leadership alike.
