Engineering role at Trail of Bits. We know our process asks for thoughtful

After consideration, we are not moving forward with your application for this

This decision isn't about a single gap, but more about alignment with what we

this is demonstrated through hands-on projects, open-source contributions, or
direct experience in similar capacities.
We recognize that strong candidates can come from many adjacent backgrounds,
and we appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing yours with us.
We encourage you to keep building and showcasing your work, and to stay in
touch if your experience continues to evolve in ways that align more closely
