Qualifications

• 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience in SOC operations, incident response, or threat hunting.
• Experience with CrowdStrike NGSIEM (Falcon Next-Gen SIEM) and CrowdStrike EDR, including detection rule development, alert tuning, and host-level investigation.
• Proficiency with Splunk SIEM, including writing searches, building alerts, and supporting detection engineering workflows.
• Experience investigating email threats with Proofpoint Email Security and analyzing suspicious files and URLs using sandbox environments such as Joe Sandbox.
• Hands-on experience with at least two cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI) from a security monitoring perspective, and experience investigating identity-based threats in Okta logs.
• Working knowledge of PowerShell and Python for security scripting and automation, with a strong understanding of attacker techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
• Experience handling PSIRT cases or product security incidents, and strong written communication skills for incident documentation and stakeholder reporting.

Responsibilities

• Monitor, triage, and investigate security alerts across SIEM, EDR, email security, identity, and cloud platforms using CrowdStrike NGSIEM, Splunk, and related tooling.
• Lead incident response from initial triage through containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
• Partner with the Incident Response team to address security incidents and provide timely support.
• Work proactively with Cyber Threat Intelligence to gather actionable intelligence and respond effectively to incidents.
• Collaborate closely with the Detection Engineering team to develop new detection and reduce false positives.
• Create, tune, and manage detection rules and alerts in CrowdStrike NGSIEM and Splunk, reducing false positives and maintaining clear documentation of logic and coverage.
• Apply AI tools to accelerate incident analysis, summarize investigations, and support detection development, validating all outputs before acting on them.
• Investigate phishing and email threats using Proofpoint, and analyze suspicious files and URLs through sandbox platforms such as Joe Sandbox.
• Investigate identity-based threats and suspicious authentication activity in Okta, and analyze cloud security events across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI to identify misconfigurations and attacker behavior.
