- Develop scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and analytics solutions supporting security operations and risk management.
- Implement data quality, governance, observability, monitoring, and performance optimization across security platforms.
- Build automation capabilities that improve vulnerability detection, prioritization, remediation tracking, and reporting.
- Integrate vulnerability, asset, threat intelligence, and security event data into centralized analytics platforms.
Stakeholder Management & Solution Design
- Partner with security, engineering, product, compliance, and business stakeholders to define requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
- Translate ambiguous business and security challenges into structured technical designs and implementation plans.
- Drive discovery sessions, technical workshops, and solution reviews to align stakeholders and engineering teams.
- Communicate technical strategies, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Team Leadership & Mentorship
- Mentor engineers through technical coaching, architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews.
- Foster a culture of engineering excellence, accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Lead cross-functional initiatives and drive collaboration across security, infrastructure, and application teams.
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor for platform security and data engineering initiatives.
