• Exposure to securing or reviewing low-level system and API designs, including understanding common authentication/authorization patterns, data flows, and basic threat modeling for services.
• Demonstrated use of data and metrics (such as incident trends, false positive rates, or vulnerability closure timelines) to inform recommendations that improve security operations or engineering practices.
• Experience using or tuning AI/ML‑enabled security tools (such as automated threat detection, anomaly detection, or AI-assisted triage) and applying AI techniques to enhance incident response quality and speed.
