Preferred:

• Experience with penetration testing or red team tools
• Background in incident response, system monitoring, and risk assessments

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You’re naturally curious and stay ahead of emerging cyber threats
• You think analytically and solve complex problems with confidence
• You communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• You’re collaborative, proactive, and take ownership from start to finish
• You balance strong security practices with enabling business innovation

• Experience securing cloud and on-prem environments
• Familiarity with NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, CIS, and FFIEC frameworks
• Knowledge of SDLC and secure development practices
