• Work with Teams: Collaborate with sales and consulting teams to plan projects, explain technical details, and show what the service can do.

• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of enterprise security systems and tools like EDR, SIEM, and forensic toolkits.

• OS & Scripting Skills: Comfortable working on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and skilled in at least one scripting language to automate tasks or build tools.
