- Have hands-on security experience in data centers, critical infrastructure, or a large hardware fleet in a relevant domain.
- Have applied a control framework such as NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, or SOC 2 to real systems and produced evidence.
- Be able to review code, design data systems for security tooling, build automation using Git and code review, and write testable requirements.
Nice to have
- Experience across multiple security domains, cloud/colocation/GPU cloud sites, or federal assessment regimes based on NIST SP 800-53.
- Experience with GRC or evidence automation, physical-site incident response, contract security language, international sites, or AI agents that replace manual work.
