- Develop and support intuitive user interfaces (UIs) and dashboards for internal security tools, ensuring they are accessible and highly usable for Security Operations and business personnel
- Support and help maintain automated deployment pipelines for security controls, incident response playbooks (SOAR), and continuous monitoring workflows

- Experience with full-stack development, including working knowledge of modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Angular) to build responsive web applications
- Solid proficiency in languages suited for API integration and automation (e.g., Python, Go, or Node.js)
- Hands-on experience working with APIs, OAuth/OIDC authentication flows, webhooks, and building integration layers
- Familiarity with hosting custom tooling in cloud environments (preferably AWS), utilizing serverless architectures (Lambda) or containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
- Solid understanding of foundational enterprise security concepts, particularly Identity & Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust, and Endpoint/Mobile Security (MAM/MDM)
- Experience or familiarity with CI/CD release automation (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and system debugging
