What you'll do

  • Perform vulnerability assessments, code reviews, and threat modeling for all new features and systems, focusing on the MES → WMS → OMS business process flow
  • Lead the implementation and auditing of security controls necessary for PCI-DSS compliance (Payment module) and GDPR compliance (user/tenant data handling)
  • Implement and manage secure API authentication methods, including OAuth 2.0 and SAML, utilizing Authentik/Ory Kratos and leveraging PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) for tenant isolation
  • Manage secrets and key rotation using Vault, define and enforce encryption protocols for data in transit and at rest, and manage certificates via Traefik
  • Implement and monitor controls for API rate limiting, Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, and traffic monitoring to prevent abuse and denial-of-service attacks

  • Establish security boundaries for AI agent interfaces, ensuring agents (built with LangChain/AutoGen) operate within strict permissions when accessing supply chain data (WMS, OMS)
  • Implement validation and sanitization techniques to mitigate prompt injection and data exfiltration risks in user-facing LLM interactions

What we're looking for
