  • Familiarity with analytical tools (e.g., SciTools Understand) used to visualize and understand software code.
  • Understanding of database administration and software development models (SDLC, Agile, etc.).
  • Experience with drafting technical and investigative reports and communicating technical findings.
  • No legal experience is necessary; we can teach you what you need to know in that area as long as you bring an open and curious mind.
