- Maintain adherence to industry standards (PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOC 2) relevant to the travel industry, build KPI dashboards for application security initiatives, and communicate findings to leadership.
- Guide junior engineers in security best practices, foster a security-conscious engineering culture, and contribute to the evolution of the organization's security posture.
