- Co-design security requirements and guardrails based on policies from the CISO Office, translating them into practical, actionable requirements and decision criteria for engineering teams.
- Develop and maintain IaC templates, secure default configurations, guidelines, and mechanisms such as Policy as Code and CI/CD security, and embed them into engineering workflows.
4.Cross-functional Initiative Leadership & Handover to Operations
- Drive key cloud security initiatives, including cloud guardrails, IAM and static credential management, CNAPP utilization, and management of public-facing assets such as DNS and certificates.
- Collaborate with implementation teams and working groups to cover the entire lifecycle, from design and validation through to Runbook/SLO preparation.
- Lead smooth transitions to steady-state operations by coordinating with relevant operational organizations and establishing sustainable processes and responsibilities.
5.Visualization & Continuous Improvement

- Experience integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines.
- Infrastructure-specific operational and technical experience, such as:
- Experience using and operating Sakura Internet (on-premises) and Sakura Cloud.
- Experience operating and troubleshooting MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) or other mail delivery/forwarding platforms.
