Summary
Ira Gordin is a security-focused software engineer with eight years in cloud-native and enterprise systems and a total of over two decades of engineering experience. Currently a Security Expert at SAP, she combines hands-on development in Golang, Typescript and Java with security leadership across threat modeling, penetration remediation, and compliance (SOC/PCI/GDPR). Her work spans Kubernetes, Argo CD and multi-cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), where she automated certificate and credential management and hardened role/policy configurations using least-privilege principles. She has reduced operational risk by implementing runtime protections such as crypto-mining prevention and automating OSS chart upgrades, and she routinely presents security topics internally and in academy settings. Ira’s background includes low-level systems and embedded development early in her career, giving her unusual comfort across stacks from firmware to cloud services. Based in Israel, she pairs an engineering BSc from Technion and an MBA in Finance with a pragmatic approach to turning audits and pen-test findings into repeatable, automated controls.
