• Collaborate with peer security teams and stakeholders to enhance organizational maturity.

• Hands-on experience with detection engineering across security platforms.

• Familiarity with security automation/orchestration platforms (SOAR), or equivalent tooling (Google Cloud Functions, AWS Lambda, etc.)

• Continuously thinking about creative ways to raise the bar on detection fidelity through strategies such as risk-based alerting or applying environmental context from various sources.

• You are always looking for automation opportunities, and don't like "solving the same problem twice".

• Working knowledge in securing and monitoring public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), interested in applying cloud-native detection and automation capabilities.

• Experienced in developing simple tooling with Python or similar programming.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving capabilities, especially within complex infrastructure environments.
