  • Experience developing and tuning security detections and investigating advanced threats.
  • Strong scripting and API integration skills with the ability to automate repetitive security tasks.
  • Ability to analyze large volumes of security telemetry and translate findings into actionable detections and response workflows.
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
