Design and implement software supply chain security controls across build and release pipelines.
Secure GitHub and GitLab environments, including branch protection, signed commits, access controls, and provenance attestation.
Implement SBOM generation, validation, and distribution using Syft, CycloneDX, or SPDX.
Integrate dependency scanning and vulnerability management into CI/CD pipelines.
Implement artifact signing and verification using Sigstore, Cosign, or in-toto.
Develop and enforce security-as-code and policy-as-code controls using tools such as Open Policy Agent (OPA), Kyverno, or Conftest.
Secure Kubernetes-based build and deployment environments.
Conduct threat modeling for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and AI-assisted development workflows.
Assess risks associated with open-source dependencies, AI-generated code, and AI coding assistants.
Align security practices with SLSA, NIST SSDF, and NIST SP 800-218.
Develop security documentation, reference architectures, runbooks, and audit evidence.

Hands-on Kubernetes security experience, including admission control, network policies, and workload hardening.
Experience with policy-as-code tools such as OPA, Kyverno, or Conftest.
Understanding of threat modeling methodologies such as STRIDE or attack trees.
Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go.
Familiarity with Docker, OCI images, container registries, and container security.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Familiarity with vulnerability management tools such as Snyk or Dependency-Track.
