What you bring

• 0–3 years of experience, with a CS degree or equivalent hands-on work.
• Solid coding skills and comfort working in Linux and Docker.
• Visible interest in security: CTFs, bug bounty, Hack The Box or TryHackMe, security coursework or personal projects.
• You can exploit common web vulnerabilities in a lab setting, explain their root causes, and implement and test straightforward fixes.
• Curiosity about how everyday decisions in software turn into vulnerabilities.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with cloud or infrastructure environments.
• Experience with AI coding tools or LLM APIs.
