We read the preferred list as a description of a useful background, not a checklist. Candidates who meet the required list and none of the preferred are regularly hired.
Who you would be joining.
Threat Analysis sits inside Defense & Security alongside platform engineering, deliberately co-located so that assessment and implementation argue in the same room.
