• Solid foundations: You deeply understand networking, operating systems, and log analysis.
• A keen eye: You care about quality and have the critical thinking skills to spot those tiny anomalies that others might miss.
• Great at juggling: You can comfortably handle and prioritize multiple moving parts, keeping your cool when things get busy.

• Experience combating fraud targeting financial services organizations.
• Worked in an AI SOC setting before.
• Demonstrated Engineering skills - Systems or network admin, DevSecOps, Cloud infrastructure
• Contributed to open source projects or has published quality research
