  • Ability to design, validate, and maintain detection logic across SIEM, EDR, and cloud platforms, with a deep understanding of runbook development and false-positive reduction
  • Knowledge of top attack scenarios (ATO, credential theft, privilege escalation, data exfiltration) and ability to map detections to threat models like MITRE ATT&CK
  • Experience prioritizing vulnerabilities using CVSS and asset criticality to reduce exposure aging
  • Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Chronicle, Elastic) and SOAR tooling
  • Understanding of cloud-native security controls and monitoring in AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Understanding of IAM, PAM, SSO, and identity-related attack vectors relevant to detection and response

Will be a plus

  • Experience in fintech, e-commerce, or other high-risk industries with complex threat landscapes
  • Hands-on background as a SOC analyst, incident responder, or detection engineer prior to moving into management

We offer
