  • Demonstrated expertise in secure coding and remediation across common vulnerability classes (SQL injection, command injection, buffer overflow, deserialization, SSRF, misconfigurations, privilege escalation)
  • Experience designing or evaluating two-part verification logic (functionality tests + vulnerability tests)
  • Proficiency with Docker and Docker Compose for multi-container vulnerability reproduction environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, or equivalent offensive-security certification
  • Experience with CVE disclosure, responsible vulnerability reporting, or maintaining exploit proof-of-concept code
