• Participate in threat modeling scenarios with cross-functional partners to understand weaknesses across Cloud, Mobile, Endpoints, and other environments incorporating findings into security controls and/or detection signatures
• Participate in threat hunting initiatives, collaborating with various engineering and product teams to emit signals to incorporate into detections, new telemetry ingestion, and/or security controls
• Participate in an on-call rotation responding to security events and conducting incident response investigations while effectively communicating findings to key stakeholders

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in security monitoring, log analysis, and detection engineering within large data sets across endpoint, network, and a wide variety of application log sources

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Some experience with Python is a plus!
• Experience conducting incident response in the Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Experience proactively threat hunting using threat intelligence to identify potential risks and weaknesses in telemetry
