You will design, implement, and maintain advanced detection and response capabilities while partnering with IT, DevOps, and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Security Operations & Threat Detection

Incident Response & Digital Forensics

  • Serve as the technical lead for high-severity security incidents, managing end-to-end containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident root-cause analysis (RCA).
  • Direct digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) investigations across endpoints, networks, and cloud logs.
  • Maintain and conduct periodic tabletop exercises to ensure incident response plans remain updated and effective.

Security Automation & Orchestration (DevSecOps Alignment)

  • Drive "Security as Code" principles by integrating security controls and continuous automated monitoring into CI/CD pipelines and IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Develop custom automation scripts (Python, PowerShell, Bash, Go) to streamline repetitive security tasks, reduce false positives, and accelerate MTTR (Mean Time to Respond).

Infrastructure & Cloud Security Integration

  • Design and enforce security policies for network security, IAM, zero-trust architectures, containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker), and SaaS applications.
  • Conduct regular vulnerability management cycles, prioritizing remediation based on business impact and threat severity.

Compliance

  • Provide technical guidance to Tier 1/2 SOC analysts and different component SPOCs.
  • Collaborate with audit and compliance teams to ensure alignment with security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR).
  • Prepare executive briefings and operational metrics (e.g., MTTD, MTTR, vulnerability turnaround) for senior leadership.

Requirements

  • In-depth knowledge of TCP/IP, OSI model, packet analysis (Wireshark), EDR/XDR systems (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender for Endpoint), and OS security (Linux & Windows).
  • Ability to articulate complex security risks and incident details clearly to non-technical business leaders and technical teams.

Preferred

  • CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
  • GIAC certifications: GCIH, GCFA, GNFA, or GCDS
  • CISM (Certified Information Security Manager)
