SIEM Integrations: Design and implement end-to-end integrations between organizational systems and the enterprise SIEM platform, including planning, onboarding, validation, and troubleshooting.
SIEM Rule Development: Develop and maintain SIEM detection rules end-to-end, including rule name, description, severity, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, drill-down queries, investigation guidance, response recommendations, and continuous tuning to improve detection quality.
SOAR Experience: Hands-on experience with SOAR platforms, including building and maintaining automation playbooks to improve incident response efficiency and reduce manual effort.
AI Adoption: Proven experience using AI tools to improve productivity, accelerate technical work, and enhance the quality of daily operations. Candidates who have already integrated AI into their day-to-day workflow will have a significant advantage.
