• Production software engineering experience in Go, building services or security systems.

• Experience owning security across teams and building security capabilities in an early-stage or 0-to-1 environment.

• Background in detection and incident response, including SIEM or detection-as-code workflows and Python automation.

• Familiarity with cloud and Kubernetes security, including GCP, and identity protocols such as OAuth, SAML, OIDC, and WebAuthn.
