Audit Leadership: You will serve as the technical lead for external security audits, translating complex auditor requirements into engineering tasks and demonstrating our security posture through automated proofs
Secure Software Supply Chain: You will secure our CI/CD pipelines, implementing signing (Sigstore/Cosign), vulnerability scanning (SBOM), and secrets management strategies
