• Experience testing privileged access management or identity‑centric security products
• Familiarity with cloud or security automation frameworks
• Exposure to remote access protocols (SSH, RDP, VNC)
• Experience contributing to automation metrics or observability systems
• Medical, Dental & Vision (inclusive of domestic partnerships)
