• Develop scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and analytics solutions supporting security operations and risk management.
• Implement data quality, governance, observability, monitoring, and performance optimization across security platforms.
• Build automation capabilities that improve vulnerability detection, prioritization, remediation tracking, and reporting.
• Integrate vulnerability, asset, threat intelligence, and security event data into centralized analytics platforms.

Stakeholder Management & Solution Design

• Partner with security, engineering, product, compliance, and business stakeholders to define requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
• Translate ambiguous business and security challenges into structured technical designs and implementation plans.
• Drive discovery sessions, technical workshops, and solution reviews to align stakeholders and engineering teams.
• Communicate technical strategies, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor engineers through technical coaching, architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews.
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives and drive collaboration across security, infrastructure, and application teams.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor for platform security and data engineering initiatives.
