This is an excellent opportunity for a senior developer who enjoys building scalable solutions that solve real business problems and wants to make a significant impact on cloud security. While security background is helpful, it's not required - the focus is on strong software engineering skills and the ability to deliver high-quality solutions that delight customers with efficiency and productivity gains.
