• Deep understanding of the threat landscape, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and methodologies to protect high-value infrastructure and intellectual property.
• Strong experience writing complex queries (e.g., KQL, Splunk SPL, or similar) and leveraging SIEM platforms to build out correlation rules and detection logic.
• Ability to write practical automation scripts in Python or Go to interact with security APIs, enrich alert context, and streamline response workflows.
