• Strong understanding of networking protocols, firewalls, VPNs, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Relevant certifications preferred: CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP, or GSEC.
• Excellent analytical thinking, problem‑solving skills, and the ability to communicate complex concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Self‑motivated, disciplined, and comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment.

• Flexible schedule with core hours overlapping UTC‑5 to UTC‑8 for team collaboration.
