## About the role

- You understand how analysts triage and investigate alerts and how detection quality affects their decisions and workload
- You know how to create and tune detections based on attacker behavior, available telemetry, and an expected investigation path
- You are experienced with security platforms such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, or comparable monitoring and response technologies
- You can write code or use an automation platform to analyze security telemetry, enrich alerts, build investigation workflows, and remove repetitive work. Experience with Python or a similar language is valuable
