• Practical experience interacting with vulnerability scoring frameworks;
• Ability to operate with minimal supervision on day-to-day execution and reliably complete complex scripting and integration tasks;
• Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

• Hands‑on experience with CNAPP or ASPM platforms such as Wiz;
