WHAT WE EXPECT
- Experience managing or mentoring a technical team, ideally in cybersecurity or a similar field
- Strong hands-on experience with cybersecurity tools, vulnerability research, and a solid grasp of information technology fundamentals
- Experience in researching, analyzing, and fact-checking technical content (bonus if in the tech or consumer electronics industry)
- Background in reverse engineering, scripting (Bash, Python, etc.), and system administration
- Familiarity with exploit stacks, threat modeling, and basic secure coding principles
- Excellent research skills and attention to detail; ability to turn complex topics into actionable insights

- Time to Recharge – Paid sick days and extra vacation days that grow the longer you’re with us.
- Continuous Growth – Deep focus on individual progress, backed by the 70/20/10 development model and a variety of L&D initiatives that help boost performance all year round. You’ll have a learning budget for courses, conferences, books, and subscriptions — plus regular knowledge-sharing sessions.
