- Track record of finding and remediating application security vulnerabilities, ideally demonstrated through in-depth security research, penetration testing, or red teaming.
- Hands-on experience with white-box and black-box testing techniques and tools.
- Familiarity with secure software development in modern web applications (React, Go, TypeScript, Postgres, or similar stacks).
- Comfortable embedding within product teams and influencing design and implementation decisions.
- Experience with cloud security in Google Cloud Platform (GCP Security Command Center is a plus) and a pragmatic approach - knowing where to focus for maximum risk reduction without slowing down delivery.
