What they're looking for

  • Design, build, test, and tune detections as code (KQL) through a GitOps workflow: issue, pull request, unit and back-testing, then automated deployment
  • Map detections to MITRE ATT&CK, find coverage gaps, and decide where to invest next based on our threat model
  • Review new community and vendor rule releases, such as Sigma, and decide what to adopt, adapt, or skip
  • Cut alert noise by tuning, retiring rules that no longer earn their place, and tracking detection quality metrics
  • Plan and run hypothesis-driven hunts across cloud, SaaS, identity, endpoint, and corporate infrastructure telemetry
  • Use adversary emulation to generate test events for detections that have nothing to fire on yet
