• Review source code with manual and automated methods across languages such as Java, C, and C++, and guide teams on identity, access control, and cloud configuration.

Even Better If...

• You have security experience with mergers and acquisitions, including retiring legacy systems and moving platforms quickly.
• You hold an offensive security or cloud security certification, or you have web application penetration testing experience.
