• Proven experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs for complex system integrations.
• Demonstrated capability and enthusiastic interest in learning new technologies, specifically in the AI space (e.g., LLMs, RAG, MCP).
• Experience working effectively within an Agile/Scrum development methodology.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to translate operational needs into technical solutions.
• Solid understanding of software development lifecycles, version control (e.g., Git), and code testing principles.
• Ability to work successfully in a hybrid work environment.

Preferred:

• Hands-on experience with Cortex XSOAR or similar SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk SOAR, Tines).
• Prior exposure to or foundational knowledge of AI frameworks, RAG implementations, or Agent-to-Agent communications.
• Basic understanding of cybersecurity principles or incident response workflows (prior security experience is not required, but an interest is a plus).
