Experience with multi-cloud architecture a plus.* Strong security and privacy patterns (OAuth/OIDC, tokenization, encryption, secrets, least-privilege, auditability) and FinOps sensibilities. Hands-on experience with API management and API security standards.* Proven track record turning ambiguous business needs into roadmaps, blueprints, and execution plans; excellent communication with senior product leaders, engineering, sales, and client-facing teams.* Bonus: Experience with live events / live linear ad decisioning, SSAI, or programmatic for live sports/news.
