Job Responsibilities:

• Design, scale, and manage the enterprise SIEM architecture to provide centralized visibility and high-fidelity threat detection across all corporate and cloud infrastructure.
• Develop and influence advanced SIEM correlation rules, custom data parsers, and detection logic to significantly minimize alert fatigue for the SOC team.
• Architect the end-to-end SBOM lifecycle to continuously track, analyze, and mitigate open-source and third-party software supply chain risks.
• Design a risk-based vulnerability management platform that automatically prioritizes infrastructure and application flaws utilizing real-world exploit intelligence and asset criticality.
• Build and optimize SOAR playbooks to automate incident response workflows, accelerate threat containment, and streamline vulnerability ticketing.
• Provide senior technical escalation support during critical security incidents and drive post-incident root-cause analysis to continuously improve defensive controls.
• Cultivate a security-first culture across product, technology, and business teams by providing developer-friendly tooling, training, and reusable secure patterns that accelerate rather than hinder delivery.
• Act with urgency to manage emerging security issues, monitor risk indicators, and recommend resolutions. Serve as the escalation point for IT Risk and Cyber domains related to Cybersecurity Operations and Vulnerability Management.
• Partner with engineering leads, product owners, and vendors to ensure effective technology risk management, translating regulatory and policy requirements into actionable, engineer-friendly controls.
• Support audit, regulatory, and risk activities by providing evidence of control effectiveness and translating compliance requirements into automated, repeatable processes.
• Identify and address unfamiliar technology components, share best practices, and influence peers to drive continuous improvement in SecOps and Vulnerability Management maturity across the organization.
• Use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate cybersecurity risk analysis and control assessment, validating outputs and handling data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
• Drive reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted security validation within SDLC/toolchain routines, improving control testing, remediation quality, and traceability/auditability in line with resiliency expectations.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• Hands-on experience advising and influencing enterprise SIEM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Chronicle/SecOps). Must be proficient in writing/reviewing advanced detection logic (KQL, SPL, or YARA rules).
• Deep execution knowledge of generating, managing, and analyzing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs using frameworks like CycloneDX or SPDX) and integrating them with tools like Dependency-Track or Snyk to track open-source vulnerabilities.
• Advanced threat modeling experience (e.g., STRIDE-LM) for SIEM data flows, log ingestion pipelines, and vulnerability management platforms.
• Experience architecting vulnerability programs using tools like Tenable, Qualys, or Wiz, specifically utilizing EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) alongside CVSS to determine patching prioritisation.
• Ability to design and influence automated response playbooks using SOAR platforms.
• Practical experience creating reference architectures and patterns for engineering teams.
• Proven ability to design and deploy automated preventive and detective guardrails at scale.
• Ability to solve design and functionality problems independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated success in influencing peers and stakeholders.
• Ability to evaluate and recommend emerging technologies for future state architecture.
• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support cybersecurity architecture workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• Ability to assess and validate AI-assisted security recommendations before adoption, escalating uncertainty and ensuring outcomes align to security, resiliency, and auditability expectations.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• Experience deploying AI-native capabilities within Google SecOps, leveraging Gemini-powered intelligence and ML-based anomaly detection to enhance UEBA and accelerate SOC triage at scale.
• Experience partnering with Red/Purple Teams to simulate attacks and actively validate that SIEM rules fire as intended.
• The ability to identify thematic vulnerability trends and common denominators to drive highest-impact, lowest-effort Vulnerability remediation.
• Experience operating in regulated organizations with a 3LoD model.
• Willingness to challenge existing processes respectfully.
• Experience translating policy and regulatory requirements into control design for engineers and architects.
• Proven ability to upskill and learn modern technologies.
• Experience in financial services consumer businesses or Fintech organizations.
