• Solid understanding of DevSecOps, CI/CD security, and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Excellent communication, technical leadership, and collaboration skills, especially with product and compliance teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience applying LLMs or NLP for log analysis, code review, or privacy risk correlation.
• Understanding of healthcare cybersecurity standards such as IEC 81001-5-1, ISO 14971, and NIST 800-53.
• Prior contributions to open-source security projects, research publications, or patents in cybersecurity or AI.
• Certifications such as CCSP, OSCP, OSWE, CISSP, CEH, HCISPP, or equivalent healthcare security credentials.

Why Join Us:

• Shape the future of AI-powered cybersecurity and privacy automation in healthcare devices and solutions.
