• 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.
• Recognized subject matter expertise in AI threats, adversarial obfuscation, and prompt injection (e.g., speaking engagements at major conferences like FS-ISAC).
• 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).

• Healthcare Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
