Write thorough unit and integration tests, with test coverage central to the work.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team.

Cybersecurity or SecOps experience is highly preferred, including secure coding, application security, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, OWASP, CWE, or security-focused code reviews.

Familiarity with AI, data-driven, or large-scale technical projects is a plus. Prior AI experience is not required.
