  • Build and automate realistic attack simulations, adversary emulation scenarios, and large-scale security environments.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship on security best practices, automation design, and incident response methodologies.

Requirements:

  • 15+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including significant experience in SOC, Blue Team, Detection Engineering, Threat Hunting, or Incident Response roles, with strong experience in Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms and security automation frameworks.

  • Past experience collaborating or working directly with customers.

  • Strong understanding of security concepts across endpoint, identity, cloud and networking.
