1st shift (United States of America)Please review the following job description:This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and enhancing technical controls and monitoring solutions that detect and prevent unauthorized use of privileged access across the enterprise.
This role plays a critical part in identifying anomalous and high-risk access behaviors by leveraging advanced detection tools, including SIEM platforms (Splunk) and endpoint detection solutions (CrowdStrike). The engineer partners closely with Security Operations, IAM, and Infrastructure teams to develop detection use cases, improve visibility, and strengthen the organization's security posture.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

• Identify and define unauthorized access scenarios, including credential misuse, privilege escalation, and anomalous account behavior.

• Develop and tune Splunk/CrowdStrike queries, correlation searches, and alerts to detect suspicious privileged activity.

• Leverage CrowdStrike (or equivalent EDR tools) to monitor endpoint-level indicators of compromise, lateral movement, and misuse of elevated privileges

• Build and maintain detection use cases aligned with MITRE ATT&CK techniques related to identity and access abuse.

• Correlate data from multiple sources (identity systems, logs, endpoints, cloud platforms) to identify potential threats.

• Partner with Security Operations Center (SOC) and Incident Response teams to escalate and respond to confirmed incidents.

• Design and implement automated detection and response mechanisms for privileged access risks.

• Develop scripts or integrations (e.g., Python, APIs) to enhance monitoring, alerting, and reporting capabilities.
