- Strong, demonstrated experience automating security workflows using SOAR platforms, APIs, or scripting languages (Python, PowerShell).
- Proven ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing competing priorities and complex projects with minimal supervision.
- In-depth knowledge of attacker TTPs, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and modern blue team operations.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in deep log analysis and digital forensics.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts.
