12+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise security engineering or corporate information security — specifically securing employee-facing systems, endpoints, identities, and internal infrastructure (not product or application security). Proficiency in at least one programming language, used in a security context — writing production-quality automation, integrations, or internal tooling (the team primarily uses Go; Python is also common). Experience architecting and integrating enterprise security platforms — designing API integrations, automating workflows, and building tooling that extends platform capabilities across domains such as EDR/XDR, MDM, IAM/IGA, DLP, SaaS security, cloud security, or PKI. Experience designing and building security telemetry pipelines and detection infrastructure — log ingestion, normalization, SIEM integration, and alerting architecture. Experience leading cross-functional security engineering projects — defining scope, driving execution, and aligning stakeholders across Engineering and IT. Track record of conducting security architecture reviews and translating findings into actionable, risk-prioritized remediation plans. Experience evaluating security posture and identifying systemic gaps, with a bias toward building durable solutions rather than one-off fixes.
