- Familiarity with hardware security, embedded systems, industrial control systems, or operational technology environments.
- Experience designing or operating secure architectures for hybrid cloud, air-gapped, or highly restricted systems.
- Fluency with modern DevSecOps tooling, detection engineering, infrastructure-as-code security, and automation.
- Experience contributing to security policies, control documentation, audits, or compliance evidence collection.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain security risks and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
