• Exposure to Cloud based web services such as AWS
• Knowledge of secure coding practices such as OWASP, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation
• Experience with Networking Concepts and architectures
• Experience with scanning tools (E.g. Nessus, Fortify, Anchore)
• Multi-disciplined infrastructure experience with compute, networks, storage, and virtualization
• Experience developing, testing & delivering applications w/in a DevSecOps framework
