Drive infrastructure security forward, implementing access controls, secrets management, and practical security policies for ISO 27001

Proven ability to work toward security standards like ISO 27001, implementing robust access controls and monitoring
Clear, proactive communicator who can share the "why" behind infrastructure decisions with the wider dev team
Comfortable as the sole DevOps domain expert, taking full ownership of decision-making and problem-solving
A "keep it simple" attitude, prioritizing efficient, practical solutions over over-engineering
