• Design, optimize, and standardize security monitoring and incident response workflows, including runbooks, playbooks, and escalation paths, to improve speed, quality, and consistency of response.
• Partner with engineering, incident management, and product teams to translate security findings into actionable technical requirements and remediation plans, influencing roadmaps across multiple domains.
• Develop and maintain advanced analytics, detections, dashboards, and reporting that provide deep visibility into security posture, threat trends, and operational performance for senior stakeholders.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship across global security operations, shaping best practices for log management, alert tuning, investigation techniques, and use of SOAR/SIEM and related tooling.
• Safely integrate and operate AI/MLenabled solutions that improve detection, triage, and response outcomes, building familiarity with AIdriven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world security operations scenarios.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Security, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience in security operations.
• Extensive experience in security operations, including handson incident detection, investigation, and response across largescale or complex environments.
• Proven ownership of security operations across multiple services or domains, including responsibility for endtoend monitoring, alerting, and incident handling processes.
• Strong technical expertise in security tooling and infrastructure such as SIEM, EDR, log management, and security analytics platforms, and in interpreting complex telemetry for threat detection.
• Familiarity with AIdriven systems, tools, or workflows in a security context, and the ability to work effectively with data, detections, and automation to improve operational outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced experience operating global, largescale security operations, including designing and refining detection strategies and incident response capabilities for highly distributed systems.
• Demonstrated leadership in shaping the architecture and integration of security operations tools (for example SIEM, SOAR, EDR, ticketing, and automation platforms) across multiple technical domains.
• Proven track record of driving operational excellence through continuous improvement of metrics, processes, automation, and datadriven decision making in security operations.
• Experience designing, implementing, and tuning AI/MLsupported detections, triage workflows, or automated response actions, ensuring safe and effective use of AI/MLenabled solutions in production security environments.
