- Maintain coordination and communication streams horizontally and vertically as part of major cyber related incident handling.
- Know the latest APT tactics and techniques and use engineering practices to detect and respond.
- Provide technical expertise to engineering teams on standard methodologies, tools and frameworks.
- Work with product managers, senior management, and end users to drive security maturity across the business.
This role requires

- Experience performing risk assessment, threat tracking, or vulnerability management and success in evaluating and communicating severity, impact, and likelihood of a risk to a wide audience.
- Familiarity with digital forensic tools and techniques for hands-on response during incidents.
Bonus points if you have
- Experience building a successful SOC or developing incident response plans or runbooks.
- Software engineering experience, primarily in Python or other high-level programming language.
