If you’re eager to tackle complex security architecture challenges and make a lasting impact across the enterprise, this is the opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Leverage offensive security techniques to support detection validation and ensure coverage against real-world adversary behaviors (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK, LOLBins, post-exploitation tactics). Simulate attacker activity in lab environments to test the effectiveness of detections.
• Assist in validating and maintaining high-fidelity detection use cases across multi-cloud environments (e.g., Azure, GCP, OCI), ensuring alignment with threat models and operational priorities.
• Support the use case lifecycle by helping manage detection onboarding, testing, tagging, and documentation across SIEM/XDR pipelines (e.g., XSIAM).
• Track and report on key detection KPIs (e.g., false positives, detection precision, coverage depth), and escalate anomalies or tuning needs to senior engineers.
• Collaborate with detection engineers and threat intel teams to review gaps and improve detection coverage based on adversary tradecraft and emerging threats.
• Contribute to improving QA processes around detection onboarding by running controlled validations and reporting on gaps in telemetry or logic.
• Stay informed on evolving attacker techniques and tooling to support proactive detection tuning and development.
• Learn detection engineering best practices, including SIEM rule tuning, correlation logic, and telemetry optimization under the mentorship of senior team members.

• Proven experience designing security architectures that accommodate complex, multi-vertical business operations, ensuring detection and response solutions are adaptable, scalable, and aligned with diverse regulatory and operational requirements across the enterprise.
• Strong understanding of advanced detection strategies, including the ability to craft and fine-tune detection content to identify and mitigate emerging threats across complex, multi-cloud environments.
• Deep technical expertise in architecting end-to-end security telemetry pipelines, encompassing data ingestion, normalization, enrichment, and correlation using modern tools and platforms such as Cloud Logging, Prisma Cloud, XSIAM, Pub/Sub, and Dataflow to enable high-fidelity, scalable threat detection across complex environments.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams (SOC, Fraud, Endpoint, Vulnerability Management, IAM, etc.) to architect and guide the design and implementation of integrated, automated security detection and response solutions that address critical use cases and enhance enterprise-wide security posture.
