Experience reviewing Infrastructure-as-Code and performing secure code reviews across backend, web, and/or mobile applications. Practical knowledge of application security standards, e.g. OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10 in real-world systems. Familiarity with runtime application security concepts including observability, detection engineering, and production security monitoring. Strong understanding of API security concepts including authentication, authorisation, API gateways, and modern identity patterns. Ability to work directly with engineers and influence design and implementation decisions. Experience building AI agents and applying AI to automate security workflows. Solid understanding of cryptography fundamentals and key management (KMS/HSM). Relevant education, certifications, or equivalent practical experience.
