• Demonstrated experience engineering security-based tooling and/or software.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated experience collaborating across functions.

• Demonstrated ability to make hard prioritization decisions in security controls.
• Experience in a software engineering role and interested in working on security related projects.
