  • Align baseline configurations with CIS benchmarks and industry best practices.
Detection Engineering
  • Design, implement, and tune detection rules and logic in SIEM/XDR platforms for proactive threat identification.
  • Collaborate with different colleagues to improve alert fidelity, reduce false positives, and create meaningful security detections.
Security Monitoring & Response

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
  • Proven experience in managing and securing cloud platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with security tools including EDR, DLP, email security, vulnerability scanners, and SIEM.
  • Strong knowledge of secure SDLC practices, application security testing, and DevSecOps integration.
  • Experience with identity and access management (IAM), conditional access, and zero trust architecture.
  • Solid background in detection engineering, incident response, and threat modeling methodologies (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.).
  • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, PCI-DSS).
