Apply cybersecurity knowledge across identity, endpoint, cloud, network, email, and application security domains. Collaborate with SOC, incident response, security engineering, and technology teams to understand monitoring needs and improve security outcomes. Document detection logic, assumptions, data sources, tuning decisions, and investigation guidance in a explicit and maintainable way. Support ongoing assessment of detection effectiveness, including relevance, actionability, coverage, and operational value. Required Qualifications Experience in cybersecurity, security monitoring, SOC operations, incident response, threat hunting, or detection engineering. Hands‑on experience with Splunk & Microsoft Sentinel and familiarity with the broader Microsoft security suite. Ability to review or support SIEM‑based detections and investigations. Strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals, including common attack techniques, security controls, incident investigation, and risk‑based thinking. Familiarity with cloud security concepts, especially around identity, access, logging,

Scripting or automation experience using Python, PowerShell, or similar technologies. Experience working in a regulated, financial services, or large enterprise environment. Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a hands‑on cybersecurity professional who understands both security operations and detection engineering. They should be comfortable working with SIEM data, investigating suspicious activity, improving detection quality, and applying broad cybersecurity knowledge across cloud, identity, endpoint, network, and application environments.
