Strong knowledge of web proxy tools and techniques.

Ability to research and learn unfamiliar technologies quickly, adapting existing knowledge and processes to investigate and resolve security issues.

Broad information security knowledge, including some familiarity with key regulations and standards relating to security vulnerability response.

Even Better If You Have:

Prior experience in a large and complex organization, operating across numerous locations and with a high degree of change.

Experience reproducing proof of concept exploitation steps.

Experience judging the priority of a vulnerability based on risk and impact.

Experience securing applications and infrastructure in Amazon Web Services and similar IaaS / PaaS platforms.

Deep application security knowledge, with the ability to map an application vulnerability to exploitation indications and relevant investigative techniques.
