•       Maintain Agile work items (stories, tasks, defects) and participate in Scrum ceremonies — stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and review.

•       Stay current on emerging threats, AI-related security risks, and industry best practices; coach and mentor application teams to build a security-first culture.
