    • Application development in C#, ASP.NET, Objective C, or Java (J2EE).
    • Reverse engineering malware, data obfuscation, or cryptographic systems.
    • Regulatory penetration testing, particularly focusing on FTC and PCI compliance standards.
    • Source code review for control flow and security vulnerabilities.
  • Strong knowledge of operating systems and network protocols.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite, Checkmarx, Snyk, Wireshark, Fiddler, and Wiz.
  • Ethical approach to security and business operations.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English (B2 level or higher).
