Position Requirements

What Experience You'll Need:
 

• Formal education in computer science, engineering, information security, or a related technical field may be helpful, but is not required. Equivalent experience gained through professional work, independent study, home lab environments, research projects, or other hands-on technical learning is equally valued.
• Candidates may come from security operations, IT, systems administration, software engineering, penetration testing, academic study, self-directed learning, or other technical backgrounds.
• Operating system fundamentals, such as process execution, authentication, privilege models, and system events.
• Basic networking concepts, including common protocols and client-server interactions.
• Familiarity with scripting or programming in at least one language.
• Exposure to command-line tools and system administration tasks.
• Understanding of basic security concepts, including access control, logging, and common attack patterns.
• Candidates should demonstrate the ability to learn independently and engage with unfamiliar technical material. This includes:
  • Reading and understanding technical documentation, research write-ups, or adversary tradecraft reports.
  • Reproducing described behavior in a lab or test environment.
  • Documenting findings clearly in writing, with attention to technical detail and accuracy.
• Experience producing written technical material is a strong signal. This can include reports, documentation, blogs, capture-the-flag write-ups, or project notes. Interest in adversary tradecraft, capture-the-flag competitions, Hack The Box, or similar platforms is a positive indicator.
• Candidates should be comfortable explaining technical concepts to others and engaging in constructive discussion. This includes:
  • Asking questions when concepts are unclear.
  • Accepting feedback and incorporating it into subsequent work.
  • Explaining their approach and findings, both in writing and verbally.
• Prior experience working in team-based technical environments is beneficial but not required.
