• Experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Understanding of security operations concepts, including monitoring, detection, incident response, and event management.
• Working knowledge of Linux and Windows administration.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting SIEM, XDR, or security operations platforms in enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with Elastic Security, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or similar security analytics tools.
• Understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK® framework and modern detection engineering practices.
• Exposure to SOAR technologies, threat intelligence platforms, Sigma rules, or security automation frameworks.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure and implementing security best practices.
• Knowledge of container security, Kubernetes security controls, and workload protection strategies.
• Interest in leveraging AI and emerging technologies to drive security innovation and automation.
