• Develop our single pane of glass application, providing insights and self-service to our product teams. 
• Lead and contribute to Software Supply Chain Security initiatives, including SBOM generation and consumption, build provenance, artifact signing, signature verification, and trusted release workflows.
• Design automation and policy-driven controls that help teams prove what was built, where it came from, and whether it can be trusted before deployment.

• Work with our application security and cloud native security teams to develop supply chain security toolchain. 
• Partner with application security, cloud native security, platform engineering, and compliance teams to mature SSCS/SSCP practices aligned to industry approaches such as SLSA, Sigstore/Cosign, SPDX, CycloneDX, and in-toto attestations.
• Write all needed unit, integration, regression, security tests to consistently deliver quality and security. 
• Provide expert technical security advice to management. 
• Participate in developing software development guidelines and documentation.
