3. Lead database security posture, which includes proactively identifying security risks and implementing both risk mitigation plans and control functions.

2. Have advanced proficiency in SQL, including complex query development and performance tuning. Experience with query optimization, indexing, and troubleshooting database performance issues.
3. Be familiar with cloud-based databases (e.g. AWS RDS) and big data tools (e.g. Hadoop).
4. Have a strong understanding of database security best practices (encryption, access control), and regulatory compliance.
5. Prove leadership in managing and mentoring database engineering teams, along with experience in automating database tasks and integrating databases into CI/CD pipelines.
6. Have a strong ability to analyze complex issues, troubleshoot problems, and devise innovative solutions.
7. Show a strong sense of initiative, taking ownership of tasks and proactively seek improvements or solutions without constant supervision.

Corporate Security Responsibility

All activities involving access to Mastercard assets, information, and networks come with an inherent risk to the organization and, therefore, it is expected that every person working for, or on behalf of, Mastercard is responsible for information security and must:
