Participate in code, IaC, and design reviews; provide constructive feedback
Contribute to POCs on emerging technologies; implement components, run experiments, and document findings so the team can build on the results.
Implement continuous compliance monitoring checks, evidence collection automations, and reporting dashboards.
Help identify, confirm and document risks and mitigations during design and implementation stages of customer engagements.
Apply common risk trade-offs (e.g., tactical compensating controls vs

addressing root causes) under guidance.
Contribute to runbooks, tools, and other security mechanisms used by the team and customers.
Participate in operational support; help ensure root causes of operational and security issues are identified and resolved.
Follow established procedures to diagnose problems, and escalate appropriately when blocked.
