  • Familiarity with architectural patterns (Multi-Tier, Microservices, Event-Driven) and frameworks (TOGAF, SABSA).
  • Experience securing IaC pipelines, CI/CD integrations, and applying DevSecOps practices.
  • Awareness of emerging technologies (AI/ML, Quantum Computing) and their security implications are strong advantages
