• Exposure Fluency: Understanding of the nuances between raw scanning and true exposure prioritization based on exploitability and reachability.
• Analytical Skills: Comprehension of data science techniques behind detection and prioritization; familiarity with AI/ML security is a plus.

• Remote Collaboration: Proven ability to drive execution in a distributed, matrixed environment.
