  • Demonstrated experience ensuring high availability, governance alignment, and operational effectiveness of security monitoring technologies.
  • Strong understanding of SIEM architecture, log ingestion pipelines, correlation logic, and event normalization.
  • Expertise with IDS/IPS technologies, signature tuning, network traffic analysis, and threat detection methodologies.
  • Proficiency with security log formats (syslog, JSON, CEF, LEEF, etc.).
  • Familiarity with network protocols, firewall rules, and enterprise network architecture.
  • Experience with Linux/Windows server administration as it relates to security tooling.
  • Ability to analyze security events, identify patterns, and support incident response.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent communication skills for cross-team collaboration.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple priorities.
  • Detail-oriented mindset with a commitment to governance, documentation, and operational discipline.
  • Preferred Qualifications (Optional Enhancements)
    • Industry certifications such as:
      • GIAC (GCIA, GCDA, GCED, GMON)
      • CompTIA Security+ / CySA+
      • CISSP or equivalent
