Preferred Qualifications • OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, or equivalent offensive-security certification • Experience with CVE disclosure, responsible vulnerability reporting, or maintaining exploit proof-of-concept code • Background in DevSecOps, CI/CD security gating, or SAST/DAST tooling • Prior technical content review, assessment design, or QA for security-focused engineering tasks
