• Experience on SIEM platforms, like Splunk or Bigquery.
• Experience in patch management, vulnerability scanning and reporting in SDLC or cloud could come in handy.
• Must know what JSON is.
• Experience working, deploying and integrating SDLC security tools.
• Familiarity with terms such as SAST, SCA or SBOM.
• Solid knowledge about security concepts.
• Must be willing to do occasional traveling.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Fluent in English.

Tasty Bonus Skills

• Experience being the technical lead of a wider team, defining the evolution and roadmap of security products.
• If you maintain your own open source security project or have contributed to a project we would love to see it.
• Security certifications won’t be evaluated, but skills in the right areas will.
