• Deep knowledge of Operational Technology (OT) security and associated regulatory frameworks
• Extensive experience with AppSec, OT security, and cloud security, with the ability to analyze complex software and hardware systems to uncover vulnerabilities
• Deep understanding of public cloud security models, best practices, and compliance frameworks/regulations
• Expert-level application of zero trust security models
• Expert threat modeling skills
• Experience with infrastructure as code, compliance as code, container/Kubernetes deployments, serverless architectures, and DevSecOps
• Proficiency in applied cryptography
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or another STEM discipline, or equivalent experience

Desired Skills & Experience

• Graduate degree
• Technical security certifications (GIAC or Offensive Security), especially in ICE, application security, and cloud security
• Significant experience mentoring and leading technical staff and small teams
• Experience presenting persuasive, technical arguments before executive and non-technical leadership
• Experience giving industry conference presentations
