• Hands-on experience with firewalls, network monitoring, and cloud/infrastructure hardening.
• Demonstrable experience securing software or embedded systems.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

 

💡 Desirable Experience

 

• Background in Aerospace, Defence, or similarly regulated sectors.
• Experience with bug bounty, exploit research, or threat intelligence.
• Solid understanding of system architecture and associated cyber risks.
