Responsibilities

Write, tune, and maintain detections in our SIEM (Panther) across cloud, container, and SaaS log sources, keeping coverage broad and alerts high-signal.

Run the SIEM day to day: onboard log sources, manage detection quality, and reduce false positives so real signals stand out.

Triage and investigate security alerts from raw log to conclusion, and help execute our incident-response playbooks.

Run cloud security operations in AWS: investigate GuardDuty and Wiz findings, tighten configurations, and close cloud misconfigurations.

Own and improve GitHub organization security controls as code.

Partner on network and infrastructure security: help onboard network telemetry, support egress monitoring, and provide backup depth alongside our infrastructure security engineer.
