• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, with knowledge of best practices for deploying and maintaining cloud-based services.

• Strong problem-solving skills, with experience debugging and resolving production issues in complex systems.

• A proactive approach to task prioritization and a history of leading technical initiatives from conception to deployment with minimal supervision.

• Prior experience working in the cybersecurity industry or working with security-centric data pipelines and protocols is advantage.

• Bonus: Experience or familiarity with moden frontend frameworks and an understanding of how frontend applications consume and state-manage complex backend data.
