• Architect firewall, proxy, and network security policies and harden interfaces between the network and end devices.
• Lead security-related (sub-)projects and provide technical coaching to the IT and Engineering teams.
• Partner closely with the IT team on infrastructure updates and serve as a senior escalation point for complex security issues.

Your profile
