Detection & Response Engineering

• Develop and maintain monitoring, alerting, and detection capabilities.
• Build security telemetry pipelines and observability solutions.
• Improve incident response processes through automation and engineering.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Serve as a technical leader within the cybersecurity organization.
• Mentor junior engineers and help elevate engineering maturity across the team.
• Work closely with platform, infrastructure, compliance, and software engineering teams.
• Translate security requirements into practical engineering solutions.
