  • Strong understanding of common security threats, attack techniques, and defensive controls. 

  • Proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell, Java, C#, etc.). 

  • Demonstrated experience leading remediation efforts and influencing engineering teams. 

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to operate across organizational levels.
