- Advanced knowledge of security principles, solutions, tools, methodologies, and techniques
- Architecting secure cloud workloads in AWS and/or Azure: prior demonstrable work designing and securing production systems.
- Architecting secure LLM integrations across clouds and model providers — e.g., using AWS Bedrock (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, Cohere, Titan), Azure OpenAI Service (OpenAI GPT), etc.
