  • React/TypeScript or a similar modern front-end framework
  • AWS services (S3, Lambda, Glue, Neptune/other DBs)
  • Kafka or other data streaming technologies
• Familiarity with cybersecurity principles (e.g., vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, attack techniques).
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and collaboration skills.
• Experience with Agile development practices.

Good to Have

• Knowledge of graph databases (Neo4j, Amazon Neptune) and graph analytics frameworks.
• Experience integrating with Qualys APIs or other security platforms.
• DevOps/automation skills (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/CDK, Jenkins).
• Experience with machine learning (PyTorch, SageMaker) for analytics or recommendation systems.
