• Backend Engineering: Develop and maintain serverless logic and integrations using Python and Azure Functions.
• Data Modeling: Architect and manage relational databases in Azure SQL, ensuring data integrity, performance, and security for reporting and application backends.
• Automation & CI/CD: Implement and manage GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment, maintaining a rigorous SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) process.
• Observability & Reliability: Establish comprehensive logging, monitoring, and observability frameworks to ensure the health and performance of all enablement tools.
• Stakeholder Enablement: Translate complex security requirements into user-friendly Power BI dashboards and automated Power Automate flows.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strategic Thinker: Ability to see the "big picture" of how data enables security business goals.
• Communicator: Capable of explaining technical architectures to non-technical security leadership.
• Problem Solver: A "builder" mindset that seeks to automate manual bottlenecks.
