    • Demonstrated success at designing, implementing, deploying, securing, and monitoring critical production systems with broad company impact.
    • Strong hands-on experience with software development.

    • Ability to translate technical and compliance requirements into engineering execution.
    • Ability to prioritize projects and tasks, drive project execution to delivery, work through others as needed, and plan future work.
    • Hands-on experience building or implementing solutions in one or more of the following security problem domains on the production platform; e.g. identity & access management, software supply chain security / build integrity, infrastructure systems or application security hardening, automated security reviews, codescanning, automated vulnerability management, etc.
    • Experience with the following is a plus: infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform), static application security tooling (e.g. Semgrep, Renovate), containerization platform security (e.g. Kubernetes, Linkerd, etc.)
    • Experience with one or more of the following languages is highly recommended: Golang, Rust, Javascript/Typescript, Ruby on Rails.
