## About the role

At Finite State, PSC Engineers are the technical owners of that problem for our customers: engineers who win trust by building and shipping, from the field.

- A record of mentoring, coaching, and teaching. You can point to specific people you developed, what changed for them, and how you did it
- 8+ years in product security, embedded and connected device security, application security, or offensive security, a meaningful portion of it in customer-facing services, consulting, or managed services
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Demonstrated ability to run a technical delivery function to SLAs, SLOs, and quality standards, including capacity and utilization management in a billable context
