  • Provide technical direction and mentorship to Tier 1 analysts
  • Communicate findings and risk assessments in clear, non-technical language
  • Recommend enhancements to tools, workflows, detection logic, and response procedures

  • Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR, and network security technologies
  • Strong understanding of threat actors, attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK), and security best practices
  • Ability to analyze logs, packets, system telemetry, and behavioral indicators
  • Excellent communication skills, written and verbal

Nice to have

  • Experience working on small or cross-functional security teams
  • Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
