• Solid grasp of identity and access management — SSO, SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, JWT/bearer tokens, and the difference between authentication and authorization (for people AND agents)
• Strong AWS background, especially Bedrock/Bedrock Agents, IAM, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, and general VPC/networking know how
• Strong Python skills — building REST APIs, automation utilities, integration services, and test/validation frameworks
• Background in security testing for agents: unauthorized access scenarios, privilege escalation, token handling, prompt injection/tool abuse testing, and building repeatable evaluation frameworks
• Experience building or configuring custom agents, GPTs/assistants, tool integrations, and multi agent workflows
