- Working knowledge of approval workflows, audit logging, rollback controls for automated remediation, and agent-driven change risks.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java, and strong scripting skills for automation and integration.
- Expert-level experience with vulnerability and exposure management platforms such as Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7, and with CTEM, attack surface management, and attack-path analysis tooling.

- Automate verification to distinguish theoretical flaws from actively exploitable conditions.
- Drive the Continuous Threat Exposure Management strategy across products, platforms, infrastructure, and corporate applications.
- Assess and revamp the exposure and vulnerability management program to support business outcomes and zero-trust security.
- Architect cloud-native discovery, asset-inventory, and remediation workflows integrated with ticketing, CI/CD, and configuration management.
