  • Preferred: Hands-on experience applying AI models, agents, or sub-agents to engineering productivity, quality, or risk reduction
  • Preferred: Experience with IT risk, security, compliance, resilience, or control data, including SOX evidence, vulnerabilities, CMDB, ServiceNow, or GRC platforms
  • Preferred: Experience implementing rules, telemetry, automated controls, or resilience and control-effectiveness testing
