• Develop and implement advanced detection rules, automation, and response tools

SOC Operations

• Guide and mentor outsourced Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC analysts
• Continuously improve SOC processes, playbooks, and detection methodologies
• Lead post-incident reviews and tabletop exercises

• Hands-on with enterprise security tools - PAM (Privileged Access Management), WAF, firewalls, EDR
• Work with Infrastructure and End User teams to close security gaps
• Support compliance, audits, and cybersecurity awareness campaigns

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in security operations, incident response, or a related cybersecurity role
• Strong hands-on experience with SIEM tools - Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Securonix, or equivalent
• Solid grasp of threat intelligence, TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures), and digital forensics
• Experience with firewalls, IDS/IPS, EDR, PAM, and WAF solutions
• Able to lead cross-functional teams under pressure and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
• Degree in Information Security, Computer Science, IT, or related field
• Certifications like CISSP, GIAC, GCIA, or GCFA are a strong plus
