• Conduct deep-dive technical security reviews of cloud architectures, applications, and third-party integrations; identify vulnerabilities and recommend pragmatic remediation actions
• Identify gaps in configuration, access controls, and model/data security; implement improvements aligned to industry frameworks and internal standards
• Stay current with evolving cloud threats, AI security risks (e.g., model abuse, prompt injection, data leakage), and proactively apply learnings to strengthen controls.
