• Hands-on experience with EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and security log pipelines, including the ability to correlate information across multiple telemetry sources.
• Strong knowledge of Windows, Linux, and cloud security, together with an understanding of endpoint and infrastructure security principles.
• In-depth knowledge of network protocols, endpoint artifacts, memory analysis, and log analysis, with the ability to use technical evidence to identify attack activity and root causes.
• Familiarity with scripting languages for security analysis, investigation, automation, or data processing is expected.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex incidents, identify patterns, evaluate evidence, and make sound security decisions.
• Ability to remain calm and effective under pressure during active security incidents while working with minimal supervision and managing competing priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly when documenting technical findings and communicating security risks or recommendations to stakeholders.
• A collaborative mindset is important, along with the ability to work independently and maintain deep technical focus when conducting complex investigations.
