Tune detection rules and alert thresholds to reduce noise and improve detection accuracy
Participate in incident response activities, including containment, investigation, forensic and post-incident review
Maintain documentation of security configurations, standard operating procedures, and coverage metrics
Collaborate with IT and infrastructure teams to ensure endpoint compliance and security policy enforcement
Coordinate the lifecycle of the bug bounty program, including report triage, formal documentation of validated vulnerabilities, and maintenance of audit logs for regulatory compliance
What Are We Looking For
One year of relevant work experience in cybersecurity, IT operations, or a related field
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Management, Information Security, or a related discipline
Understanding of common attack techniques and frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK)
Basic knowledge of endpoint hardening, network security fundamentals, and log analysis
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
Relevant certifications (CompTIA Security+, CySA+, BTL1, or similar) is a plus
Experience with EDR and UEM solutions (e.g., Crowdstrike, SentinelOne, JumpCloud, Jamf, etc.) is a plus
Familiarity with threat intelligence platforms and IOC management is a plus
Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) for automation of routine tasks is a plus
