About the role
This is not a compliance-only role. This is not a SOC analyst role. This is an engineering role for someone who can take security findings and turn them into real system improvements. Most cybersecurity roles protect internal systems. This one helps secure autonomous platforms operating in the real world. If you want to build systems that deploy, platforms that scale, and software that matters, this is the place to do it.
