• Experience with design and implementation of data and AI applications in cybersecurity, including anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, and agentic AI workflows for triage and investigation.
• Deep familiarity with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, or similar), including deployment, tuning, detection engineering, and migration strategies. Familiarity with SOAR platforms is also desirable.
• Strong understanding of the security telemetry landscape: endpoint (EDR/XDR), network (firewall, DNS, proxy), identity (Okta, Entra ID), cloud (AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, GCP Audit), and SaaS application logs. Familiarity with standards such as OCSF.
