• Identify detection gaps and develop new detection use cases to improve security coverage.
• Improve detection quality, reduce false positives, and enhance alert fidelity.
• Map detections and use cases to attacker techniques and security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.

Security Automation

• Design, build, and maintain security automation workflows using Tines and other approved automation platforms.
• Build integrations using APIs, workflow automation tools, and platform-native capabilities.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks to improve investigation and response efficiency.
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline security processes through automation.

Security Operations & Incident Response

• Strong ability to create, tune, and maintain detections, searches, analytics, or threat hunting content using security-focused query languages.

• Experience building and maintaining security automations using Tines, SOAR platforms, or similar workflow automation technologies.

• Experience designing, building, or maintaining automation workflows rather than solely operating within automated environments.

• Experience integrating systems via APIs, automation platforms, or platform-native capabilities.

• Solid understanding of threat detection, security investigations, and incident response concepts expected within a Tier 3 Security Operations environment.

• Ability to translate operational challenges into scalable detections, automations, and workflow improvements.

• Strong collaboration skills and experience working across Security Operations, Engineering, IT, and MSSP environments.

What Success Looks Like

• • Owning and improving detection content and security analytics
  • Increasing detection coverage across the environment.
