- Threat Hunting: Proactively search across telemetry logs for undetected adversary activity using MITRE ATT&CK; techniques and latest threat intelligence advisories.

Qualifications & Skills

- Experience: 2–4 years in a SOC Analyst (Tier 2) or Incident Response role.

- Technical Proficiency: Hands on experience with SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, and security orchestration platforms (SOAR).

- Skills: Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking, OS internals (Windows, Linux, macOS), memory/host artifacts, and common attack vectors (phishing, ransomware, credential abuse).
