• Integrate supply chain security controls (SBOM, provenance, dependency scanning, signed commits)
• Build developer productivity tooling (self-service onboarding, repo templates, policy-as-code)
• Enable GitHub Actions hardening (runner security, secrets management, ephemeral runners)
• Experience with cross-platform integrations (Okta, Azure AD, SIEM tools, vaults, CI/CD systems)
