Proven experience integrating security into agile development environments
Strong working knowledge of Azure PaaS and Azure DevOps (CI/CD)
Familiar with scripting languages like PowerShell, YAML, JSON
Expertise in application security tools and DevSecOps processes
Understanding of key frameworks and standards (e.g. OWASP, NIST SSDF, ISO27001, NCSC)
Experience with threat modelling, risk assessments, and secure design reviews
Comfortable owning security strategy and tooling across complex, modern product landscapes
Strong communicator - able to engage confidently with both engineers and execs
