  • Identify unencrypted secrets and keys in codebases, architecting mappings for secure KMS integration.

Required Qualifications:

  • Senior-level expertise in Cybersecurity, Cryptography, and Security Data Analysis.
  • Deep technical mastery of enterprise encryption protocols including TLS 1.3, IKEv2 IPsec, AES-256, and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards.

  • Must clear expedited enterprise security onboarding and strictly adhere to secure data-handling protocols.
