  • Lead detection strategy and architecture aligned with detection quality frameworks.
  • Write high-fidelity detection rules using languages such as SIGMA and YARA-L.
  • Perform deep log source analysis, threat modeling, adversary emulation, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping maintenance.
  • Conduct detection gap analysis and continuously improve detection coverage and quality.
  • Create and maintain detection playbooks, runbooks, and supporting documentation.
  • Develop automated response playbooks and integrate security tools through APIs for SOAR workflows.
  • Build automated enrichment and containment actions to accelerate and scale incident response.
  • Co-lead the threat hunting program, including strategy, methodology, and campaign planning.

  • Advanced Python scripting and automation development skills for API integrations and tool orchestration.
  • Strong threat hunting experience, including hypothesis development and campaign execution.
  • Hands-on experience with Jupyter Notebooks, Osquery, and Velociraptor for data analysis and hunting.
  • Deep understanding of attack techniques, lateral movement, persistence, and post-exploitation TTPs across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Familiarity with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, PICERL, NIST CSF, and Detection Maturity Models.
  • Ability to lead technical initiatives, mentor team members, and communicate complex technical concepts effectively.
  • Preferred: experience with YARA-L, CrowdStrike Falcon custom IOA rules, purple team activities, CI/CD for detection-as-code, security certifications, security data lakes, threat intelligence platforms, or published security research.

Benefits

  • High-impact leadership role with ownership of critical security capabilities.
  • Opportunity to architect and build a SOAR platform from the ground up.
  • Chance to lead major SIEM migration efforts and other greenfield initiatives.
  • Work on a modern security stack protecting a large enterprise customer base.
  • High autonomy and influence over security architecture, tool evaluation, and team direction.
