  • Contribute to the development, documentation, analysis, testing, and modification of threat detection systems and playbooks.
  • Provide feedback on gaps or improvements needed in processes, documentation, or technology.
  • Maintain an up-to-date knowledge of threat actor techniques and tools and share insights and best practices with the broader team, championing a culture of continuous learning.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity operations (monitoring, detection, investigation, and incident response).
  • Strong endpoint, OS (Windows, Linux, macOS), and networking knowledge including ability to read logs, parse artifacts, and interpret network flows. 
  • Scripting, and automation such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, and ability to author detection queries and automate tasks.
  • Familiarity with malware analysis concepts (static/dynamic), YARA, and reverse-engineering basics.
  • Understanding of identity & access compromise, lateral movement, persistence mechanisms, and enterprise attack surfaces.
  • Expertise with various log sources, such as Office365, Azure, Entra, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Windows Active Directory, Windows Event Logs, Syslog, DNS, VPN, and the ability to interpret and analyze these logs for anomalies and security incidents.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; experience producing incident reports and presenting to technical and executive stakeholders.
