• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and incident management tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Experience or knowledge in SecDevOps practices, embedding security into CI/CD pipelines and operational processes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to act as a technical referent within an international, cross-functional team.
• Structured, proactive, and delivery-focused, with a strong sense of ownership

Nice to Have
