• Supporting and improving API security using API Gateway technologies, preferably Kong, including authentication flows, rate limiting, and policy enforcement
• Collaborating with engineering teams to securely integrate identity solutions into APIs and services
• Building and maintaining infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Operating and securing Kubernetes-based workloads and identity-related services
• Contributing to cloud architecture decisions with a strong focus on security, resilience, and scalability
• Partnering with DevOps and SRE teams to improve observability, incident response, and operational excellence
• Participating in security reviews, threat modeling, and architecture design discussions
