- Development & Automation
- Develop automation scripts and tooling (Python, Go, Bash)
- Build APIs and integrations between security tools and internal systems
- Automate detection, response, and remediation workflows
- Cloud Security
- Implement security controls across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Build cloud-native security solutions (CSPM, CWPP, container security)
- Secure CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- TI/TH SoC
- Engineer detection rules, correlation logic, and alerting mechanisms
- Enhance logging, monitoring, and telemetry pipelines
- Collaborate with SOC teams to improve detection coverage and reduce false positives

- Familiarity with frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CK)
- Systems & DevOps
- Linux/Unix system expertise
- CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana)
- Nice to Have
- Experience with Zero Trust architecture
- Knowledge of data security (DLP, encryption, key management)
- Experience in large-scale distributed systems
- Relevant certifications (CISSP, OSCP, AWS Security Specialty)
- AI based knowledge and its usage for Cybersecurity
Soft Skills
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting ability
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, DevOps, and SOC teams
