- Background at respected technology companies or startups.
- A degree in a technical or scientific field.
- A track record of owning security outcomes for infrastructure end to end.
- Practical experience securing container orchestration environments, including access controls, policy enforcement and sensitive-data handling.
- Experience setting up and maintaining security settings across cloud environments.
- Ability to work on-site five days a week at the stated location.
