- Review software and system telemetry to identify potential security weaknesses or anomalous behavior
- Collaborate with Security Operations and Infrastructure teams to improve enterprise and product security visibility
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Software, Embedded, Hardware, DevOps, and Infrastructure teams to balance security, performance, and operational requirements
- Contribute to the development of scalable product security processes and governance
- Support customer and internal security reviews related to deployed technologies and operational environments
