Principal Security Architect DevSecOps

Summary

Handson Security Architect&programmer with 12+years building and securing cloud, container, and AI platforms for tier1 banks. Expert in Python, Terraform, and Bash; code daily to automate CI/CD, IaC, and threatdetection pipelines. Led OpenShift, Kubernetes, AWS, and Azure initiatives that cut critical vulnerabilities60%, saved3MAED, and enabled AIdriven RAG, ML, and GenAI services for 800+ users. Blend deep technical acumen with strategic vision to turn complex risks into resilient, businessaligned solutions.

Expectations

Im looking for a role where I can fuse strategic security architecture with hands-on engineering, driving cloud-native, container, and GenAI initiatives from design through production. I want to lead small, high-impact teams that value experimentation, pair-programming, and DevSecOps automation, while still carving out time to code in Python, Go, and Terraform myself. The ideal environment encourages continuous learning, sponsors advanced research in AI-driven threat detection, and empowers architects to influence product roadmaps not just bolt security on at the end.

I thrive in organizations that pair a strong risk culture with the agility of a startup: clear executive buy-in, enough autonomy to innovate, and measurable outcomes tied to customer trust and revenue protection. Remote-first or flexible hybrid work is preferred, with a diverse, inclusive team distributed across time zones. Above all, Im seeking a mission-driven company where protecting data, enabling privacy, and advancing responsible AI are core values, and where my experience reducing critical vulnerabilities by 60 % and saving multi-million-dollar budgets can translate into even greater impact.
