• Ability to gain deep understanding of secure coding principles and common software vulnerabilities. 
• Comfortable explaining technical concepts in writing, live sessions, or on video. 
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote environment. 
• A genuine passion for helping developers grow their security knowledge. 
• Unbounded curiosity.
• Slight preference for candidates based in Eastern Time, since the majority of the team works in that time zone.
