• 3--5 years of commercial experience blending software engineering and DevSecOps/AppSec;
• Solid coding proficiency in Python for automation and scripting;
• Ability to comfortably read and navigate Java source code;
• Working knowledge of modern CI/CD orchestration tools;
• 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;
• Basic understanding of application threat modeling.
