  • Advanced incident response leadership and threat detection engineering expertise across multiple technology domains.
  • Expertise with SIEM, endpoint detection and response, cloud security monitoring, identity monitoring, and email security platforms.
  • Advanced skills in threat hunting, digital forensics, malware analysis, and adversary behavior analysis.
  • Expert knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK, threat intelligence, detection engineering, and incident response frameworks.
  • Ability to lead complex cross-functional security investigations and influence technical stakeholders.
  • Candidates must be eligible to work in the US for full-time employment.
