You will work cross functionally across teams to provide thought leadership to promote re- use and develop consistent, scalable patterns. Participate in planning services and applications that have broad impact. You will be looked upon to provide suggestions for handling routine and moderately complex technical problems, escalating issues when appropriate, and providing subject matter expertise in external attack-surface reconnaissance, network and service enumeration, security-tool automation, and safe vulnerability validation .
