⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing only on traditional IT security without addressing AI-specific risks—this role requires a deep understanding of ML security.
  • Ignoring the climate mission: Concrete Transition Capital is mission-driven, so candidates who don't show genuine interest in sustainability may be overlooked.
  • Being too generic about remote work: highlight your ability to proactively communicate and manage projects asynchronously, as the team is fully remote.
