• Define and enforce standards for AI automation security: least privilege, secrets management, audit logging, and prompt injection controls

• Deep hands-on experience with security platforms (SIEM/SOAR, EDR, firewalls, ticketing) and their APIs
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, MCP servers, event-driven architectures, and message queuing

• Security certifications (CySA+, CISSP, AWS Security Specialty, OSCP)
