  • Proficiency in programming and scripting (Python, SQL, Bash) for security automation and tool development.

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proven experience developing and deploying AI-driven security innovations, such as autonomous detection engineering, AI-powered YARA agents, or XSOAR machine learning integrations.

  • Prior experience in a professional services or consulting firm, including client onboarding, architecture discussions, and pre-sales scoping.

  • Active or prior industry certifications (e.g., GCIA, CISSP).
