  • Understanding of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and their security implications.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and effectively in a remote-first setting.
  • Relevant cloud security certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CCSK) are a strong advantage.
Benefits
