Description


Monitor and triage security alerts across SIEM, EDR, and CSPM platforms covering both corporate and product environments

Investigate alerts to determine scope, severity, and whether escalation is warranted

Leverage AI-assisted triage and enrichment tools to accelerate analysis and reduce mean time to detect

Classify, document, and track alerts through the full lifecycle using ticketing and case management systems

Participate in or lead incident response engagements from detection through remediation, including evidence collection, forensic analysis, root cause determination, and stakeholder communication

Conduct investigations across SIEM, EDR, CSPM, and cloud-native log sources including identity provider logs, cloud audit trails, and network flow data—spanning both corporate and product infrastructure

Execute established IR runbooks across identity, endpoint, cloud, and email investigation workflows

Manage or assist with evidence handling, forensic artifact collection, and chain-of-custody procedures

Produce clear, decision-ready incident summaries and post-incident reports for both technical and leadership audiences

Contribute to the design, implementation, and tuning of detection rules across SIEM and EDR platforms, with a focus on reducing false positives and closing coverage gaps

Translate threat intelligence (CVE advisories, CISA alerts, vendor bulletins, open-source feeds) into actionable detection content, with particular attention to threats targeting privileged access tooling and supply chain attack vectors

Help maintain and evolve detection coverage mapped to MITRE ATT&CK

Partner with threat hunting peers to validate detection logic through hypothesis-driven hunts

Use AI-driven tools for alert triage, enrichment, and investigation as a standard part of daily operations

Contribute to the evaluation, integration, and optimization of AI and automation capabilities across the team’s workflows

Assist in designing prompts, agent workflows, or LLM-based pipelines that augment analyst capabilities and reduce manual effort

Partner with engineering teams to improve log ingestion, data quality, and tool integrations

Maintain daily operational notes and shift handoff documentation

Contribute to and refine IR runbooks, playbooks, and standard operating procedures

Participate in on-call rotation for after-hours incident escalation

Track and report on operational metrics (MTTD, MTTR, MTTC, false positive rate) and identify improvement opportunities

Participate in tabletop exercises, purple team activities, and post-incident reviews
