  • Experience with AWS, GCP, or a similar cloud service platform.

  • Self-motivated and results-oriented.

  • Experience building and delivering projects from start to finish.

  • Passion for collaboration and strong interpersonal skills.

  • Specialization in one or more areas: malware analysis, forensics, threat hunting, network analysis, or cloud endpoint analysis.
