Operational AI Use-Cases: Experience using AI tools to optimize security engineering workflows (e.g., automating root-cause analysis, threat modeling assistance, automated policy generation).
Programming & Tooling: Proficient in code review and scripting with Python, Go, or Javascript (hands-on development experience is a major plus). Hands-on with tools like Burp Suite, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, and CI/CD security scanners.
