• Support and help maintain automated deployment pipelines for security controls, incident response playbooks (SOAR), and continuous monitoring workflows

• 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)
