- Cloud security: You understand AWS security fundamentals including IAM, VPCs, security groups, and CloudTrail/logging.
- Incident response: You can investigate security events, perform root cause analysis, and coordinate response efforts.
- You have developed "computer science fundamentals," i.e. concurrency, algorithms, and data structures.
- You genuinely care about code quality and operational excellence.
