  • Proficiency in one or more common scripting languages, such as Python, Golang, Shell, or JavaScript, to automate security checks.
  • Domain knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), secure coding practices, code reviews, and source control security.
  • Collaborative mindset with experience contributing to cross-team security projects and initiatives.
  • Experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, or automate vulnerability triage.
  • Efficient communicator with strong writing skills, comfortable working in a remote environment.
  • Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
