• Experience with SIEM/XDR platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR
• Knowledge of NIST, CIS Benchmarks, secure SDLC, and risk management frameworks
• Experience with WAFs, firewalls, and enterprise security controls
• Familiarity with scripting or automation tools such as PowerShell, Python, or Bash

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience securing enterprise‑scale hybrid cloud environments
• Knowledge of Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools such as Terraform, ARM, or Bicep
• Exposure to container security and CI/CD security automation
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate cross‑functionally
