  • By solving the "Last-Mile Gap" in identity provisioning and extending compliance tools into our proprietary applications, you will ensure our most critical controls are continuously validated with programmatic precision.

Responsibilities

  • Build the Security Telemetry and Risk Fabric
  • Control Design: Translate control frameworks into layered control implementations that prevent risks from being exploited and detect possible weaknesses within control design.

  • Automated Secret Discovery & Inventory: Develop automation to continuously discover and inventory secrets, credentials, and API keys throughout the environment, providing aging and rotation intervals for long lived keys.
  • Partner Across Security, Engineering and Product
