  • Quickly understand customer processes, systems, data, cyber posture, and business constraints.
  • Help customers answer urgent cyber questions, such as which products, vendors, components, assets, or supply chain relationships may be impacted by a newly announced threat or vulnerability.
  • Access, export, normalize, and compare customer data across vulnerability management, endpoint detection, network topology, attack path tooling, asset inventories, software bills of materials (SBOMs), business impact analysis, and supply chain mapping.
  • Write secure, outcome-focused code, including agentic workflows and batch jobs, to surface insights quickly in approved customer or secure environments.
  • Convert bespoke customer work into product requirements that Product Management can formalize into scalable software capabilities.

  • Demonstrated ability to access, normalize, and analyze large, messy, multi-source data sets to answer urgent operational questions.
  • Ability to write pragmatic, secure, production-appropriate code (e.g., Python or similar) in constrained or regulated environments.
  • Strong executive communication skills, including presenting complex technical findings to customer leadership.
  • Ability to operate independently in embedded customer environments and manage competing priorities.
  • Must be eligible for a U.S. security clearance; successful completion of a background check is required.
  • Experience with U.S. electric utilities or other critical infrastructure sectors.
  • Familiarity with OT/ICS environments and their operational and remediation constraints.
  • Knowledge of NERC CIP or comparable regulatory frameworks.
  • Experience with vulnerability management, attack path analysis, and endpoint/security tooling.
  • Experience with supply chain risk management (SCRM), SBOM/VEX analysis, and third-party risk workflows.
  • Commercial judgment: shaping repeatable use cases and identifying expansion opportunities.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, or a related field required.
  • Advanced degree or relevant certifications (e.g., security or cloud) preferred.
  • Remote and Hybrid working environment
  • Competitive pay structure
