• Partner across development, QA, and operations to create aligned processes and shared accountability for product delivery.
• Embed security into engineering workflows through pragmatic DevSecOps practices that reduce risk without disrupting momentum.
• Mentor teams and influence technical decisions by staying close to implementation details and helping unblock execution when needed.

• Experience in startup or high-growth organizations where speed, adaptability, and practical decision-making are essential.
