  • Technical curiosity and self-starter

Preferred:

  • AWS penetration testing experience strongly preferred
  • OSCP or OSWE certification highly preferred (demonstration of exploitation capabilities or equivalent expertise can be used as a substitute)

  • For senior analysts, ability to quickly become familiar with Appgate processes and progress to leading assessments

Language: Intermediate-Advanced English (written and spoken)
