What We Value

  • Demonstrated coding skills in Python/Rust

  • Practical exposure to federal security frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP).

  • Collaborate with product, Platform, and compliance teams to embed security in the SDLC

  • Support incident response and post-incident review, growing toward leading these efforts over time
