• Integrate automated security scans (Snyk, Docker, IaC) into all stages of the SDLC.
• Design, implement, and maintain AWS infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible
• Deliver threat models and drive remediations across cloud services (EC2, S3, RDS, etc.).
• Build Docker-first workflows with image scanning, tagging, and artifact management.
• Write and own SOPs for secure deployment and incident response aligned to ISO 27001 and IEC 62304.
• Extend observability through CloudWatch/ELK stack dashboards, anomaly detection, and alerting for security and performance monitoring.
• Support Transformation team by resolving any security queries that clients might have in their onboarding & deployment
  

What success looks like:
3 months

• Complete access audits and enforce secure MFA + least-privilege access across AWS, Bitbucket, and key tools
• Identify and remediate top 5 security risks in CI/CD pipelines and cloud architecture
• Fully integrate Snyk into all pipelines with automated alerts and reporting

6 months

• Mature pipelines to support automated tests, security gates, and gated deploys across all services

12 months

• Implement full-stack observability with anomaly alerts and dashboards for security and reliability using the ELK stack

Have deep expertise in:

• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Lambda, SQS/SNS
• CI/CD Pipelines: Bitbucket Pipelines (or similar), multi-stage pipeline management, gated deployments
• Security Operations: Snyk, IAM policies, threat modeling, zero-trust access, MFA, secrets management
• Implementing and automating compliance requirements (IEC 62304, ISO 27001, HIPAA, MDR)
• Delivering secure software pipelines for Node.js, React, and Docker-based services
• Writing secure deployment ansible playbooks and participating in internal audits or regulatory submissions

• Bias for automation: believes manual work should be temporary, builds repeatable pipelines and workflows.
• Detail obsessed: doesn't miss the small stuff. Every commit, config, and policy matters in regulated software.
• Clear communicator: explains risks, trade-offs, and technical plans to both engineers and non-tech stakeholders.
• Collaborative & pragmatic: works well across disciplines and adapts to real-world constraints.
