- Collaborating in Agile teams to deliver innovative, secure, and robust technical solutions.
What We’re Looking For
- Proficiency in one or more of C, C++, or C#.

- Experience working with Linux or Windows-based systems.
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Nessus, OpenVAS, Burp Suite, or similar).
- Familiarity with CVSS scoring, vulnerability databases (e.g., NVD, MITRE ATT&CK), and risk prioritization frameworks.
- Understanding of patch management processes, secure configuration baselines, and compliance requirements.
- Awareness of secure coding practices and modern cybersecurity threats.
