Additional commentary
You will be exposed to a wide variety of technical security challenges, in multiple domains (including, for example: cloud, network, application, and operations), and be asked to quickly absorb new concepts and build on your previous work to deliver increasingly more sophisticated technical outcomes.
You will be successful if you like complex problems, learning and trying new things, and have a passion for personal growth. By using your beginner's mindset to push our more senior architects and engineers to think about and explain their ideas and plans. By jumping in and not being afraid to try things, even if they ultimately don't work out. If you don't let perfect be the enemy of good. If you listen hard, think clearly, and act decisively.
