Ensure infrastructure and deployment processes align with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and other regulatory standards.

Collaborate with security teams to enforce least‑privilege access, encryption standards, and secure data flow.

Lead DevOps initiatives across cross‑functional engineering, product, and data teams.

Partner with software engineers to ensure infrastructure aligns with application architecture and performance needs.

Drive operational improvements, tooling modernization, and automation‑first culture across the organization.
