• Exposure to Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, or CrowdStrike.
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks).
• Interest in AI automation, XDR, or security event correlation tools.
• Strategic and proactive – researches options, anticipates challenges, and makes informed decisions.
• Action-oriented – ships, iterates, and learns quickly.
• Collaborative and growth-minded – helps build culture and grows with the company.
• Quality-focused – balances speed with maintainable, scalable solutions.
• Persistent – doesn’t give up when faced with complex technical challenges. 

What We Offer

• Direct collaboration with the CTO and senior engineers — real ownership from day one.
