What you need

  • Hands-on experience handling security incidents, including triage, containment, and coordination across teams.
  • Strong analytical ability to investigate alerts and logs (SIEM, EDR, network, cloud) and determine root cause.
  • Practical experience implementing and tuning detection rules/use cases in a SIEM (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, QRadar).
  • Proven ability to write clear post-mortems, RCAs, and incident reports for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and other security teams, translating findings into clear remediation steps.
  • Track record of identifying and driving improvements to detection and response processes.

Nice to have

  • Experience with detection engineering frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK) to map and prioritize coverage.
  • Familiarity with scripting/automation (Python, etc.) for detection or response tasks.
  • Understanding of compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, SOC2) as they relate to incident response.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., GCIH, GCFA, Security+, SC-200, or SIEM-specific certifications).

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed.
  • The role involves significant cross-team collaboration, which may require strong interpersonal skills.
  • The job description emphasizes a process improvement mindset, which may appeal to candidates interested in operational efficiency.
