- Understanding of networking, security principles, identity management, and zero-trust environments.
- Familiarity with secure artifact management and offline deployment workflows.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering teams and strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science (or related field) and 4 years of experience or Master's. In lieu of a degree, 8 years of experience in cyber security and software engineering
- Experience supporting regulated or mission-critical environments.
