• Practical experience working with AWS and SaaS environments.
• Experience supporting integration-heavy landscapes.
• Ability to make clear, actionable security recommendations and see them through.

• Exposure to OT, IoT, or smart-building technology.
• Cloud or cyber security certifications (AWS, CISSP, CCSK, etc.).
