What You’ll Need:

• Ability to convey complex or technical concepts to various stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience in endpoint security, cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or cloud security principles.
• An excellent understanding of operating systems
• Experience with logging platforms such as LogScale, Splunk, or Kibana and creating queries to identify suspicious activity
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
• Having a good understanding of current and emerging threats and ability to demonstrate practical knowledge of security research
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or comparable work experience.

• Experience investigating commonly leveraged TTPs observed across Azure, and or AWS Cloud Computing Providers
• Experience in a security operations center or similar environment tracking threat actors or responding to incidents
