Youll bring deep, hands-on Security Operations experience across areas such as incident response, threat hunting, digital forensics, malware analysis, network analysis and detection engineering. Using your understanding of the evolving threat landscape, youll translate threat intelligence into practical security outcomes, developing new detection capabilities, investigations and response processes.

If youre passionate about security transformation, enjoy solving complex challenges and thrive when given ownership and autonomy, wed love to hear from you.
