    • Track and define Security Operations metrics to measure effectiveness.
    • Design and implement automation solutions and SOAR playbooks to optimize workflows for alert triage and incident response.
    • Automate routine tasks to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).
    • Support vulnerability management by linking vulnerability data with real-world exploits and prioritizing remediation efforts.
    • Engage in incident response (IR) exercises to validate and improve IR processes.
    • Perform additional duties as necessary to meet the requirements of the position.

    • A minimum of 2 years of experience in Cyber Intelligence or Threat Hunting, preferably within a CIRT/SOC environment.
    • Hands-on experience with SIEM content development and automation.
    • Familiarity with core security technologies such as SIEM, vulnerability scanners, antivirus solutions, and EDRs.
    • Strong knowledge of threat intelligence methodologies and frameworks including MITRE ATT&CK.

    • Proficiency with SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk SOAR, Microsoft Sentinel automation).
    • Exceptional analytical and investigative skills with a sound understanding of security controls.
