## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in information security, including time as the founding or sole security owner at a company—or as the person who built a program that didn’t exist before you arrived
- Genuine hands-on depth. You can configure the control, not just specify it, including on developer workstations and build infrastructure that don’t look like a standard corporate fleet
- Practical experience securing source code and developer infrastructure: source control platforms, CI/CD, secrets management, and cloud infrastructure
- Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, or a comparable federal framework—ideally having taken a company through an assessment—and the judgment to know what matters and what’s ceremony
- Enough IT operations depth to run it well on your own for a while: MDM, identity providers and SSO, automated user lifecycle management, and multi-site networking
- Comfort with identity and access architecture: SSO, MFA, least privilege, and access reviews at a pace that doesn’t exhaust people
