• Partner with engineering and managed service teams to develop, and implement automation at scale.
• Be comfortable leading compliance deep-dives across multi-functional teams (Engineering, Sales, Product) and act as the primary compliance lead during internal audits.
• Collaborate with open-source communities to develop and implement Red Hat-specific capabilities from the upstream; contribute directly to projects to improve the security and compliance ecosystem.
• Foster a high-trust, collaborative environment by mentoring junior team members and serving as a security and compliance evangelist both inside Red Hat and within the broader open-source community.
