  • Support the sales team with security questionnaires and technical security requirements from customers


What we're looking for
  • Strong security engineering fundamentals, with hands-on experience securing production infrastructure, systems, and networks
  • Experience with network security, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, vulnerability management, and threat detection and response
  • Ability to identify security risks and translate them into pragmatic technical solutions
  • Strong understanding of security best practices across modern cloud and infrastructure environments
  • Ability to work closely with engineering and operations teams and embed security into existing systems and workflows
  • Bias toward execution and ownership, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment


You can expect:
