• Mentor and lead a team of engineers focused on deep system analysis, detection logic, and cyber domain expertise.
• Drive architectural decisions in data enrichment, processing, and scalable detection pipelines.
• Collaborate with security researchers and threat intelligence teams to feed emerging vulnerabilities into detection systems.

• Strong familiarity with CVEs, CWE classifications, MITRE ATT&CK, and vulnerability management processes.
• Experience integrating with EDRs, XDRs, or other endpoint telemetry sources.
• Hands-on development experience in Python (required)
• Experience analyzing logs and system artifacts (Sysmon, audited, system logs, etc.) - Advantage
• Strong background in parsing structured and unstructured data (JSON, logs, binary protocols).
• Comfortable in modern cloud-native and distributed architectures.
