  • Provide timely feedback on the development process on customer-reported product problems
  • Document actions to effectively communicate information internally and to customers
  • Facilitate root cause investigations and manage the implementation of corrective and preventative measures

Qualifications

  • Experience understanding malware, exploits, operating system structure, and behavior
  • Experience with Android OS based applications (Installation, troubleshooting, Debugging)
  • Strong experience with MS environment (SCCM, GPO, AD, MSSQL, IIS)
  • Experience with EndPoint security software is a plus (Antivirus, DLP, IPS, NAC)
  • Knowledge of SIEM, vulnerability management tools, and firewalls

Good to have skills:

  • Experience with bash scripting OR Python is a plus
  • Strong ability to independently troubleshoot, reproduce issues and identify possible workarounds in broad, complex, and unique environments with mixed applications and protocols required
  • Knowledge of Cloud infrastructure is a plus
  • Knowledge of VDI (VMWare Horizon, Citrix XenApp, and XenDesktop) is a plus
