  • 2+ years of experience with AI Agents to perform security testing and evaluations against code and deployed systems.
  • Experience in shift-left security, including integrating SAST/DAST into CI pipelines.
  • Knowledge of Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or similar CNAPP tools.
  • Experience operationalizing vulnerability management, including setting severity-based SLAs and reducing developer remediation friction.
  • Experience securing runtime workloads and cloud infrastructure, including CADR/XDR/CWPP rollouts and securing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Helm.
  • Experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • CISSP or other ISC2 certification (preferred).
