Key Responsibilities 

• Design, build, and deploy agentic AI workflows and intelligent autonomous playbooks to automate Tier-1/2 alert triage, context enrichment, and incident response. 

• Develop and tune complex detection logic across SIEM, EDR/XDR, and cloud platforms, focusing on behavioral analytics and anomaly detection. 

• Utilize Python to build custom security tools, integrate disparate security APIs, and maintain high-quality, reusable codebases for security orchestration (SOAR). 

• Lead threat hunting initiatives and serve as a Tier-3 escalation resource for complex, high-severity security incidents. 

• Analyze attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to map coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK framework and proactively close gaps. 

• Secure cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP), with a specific focus on auditing, monitoring, and protecting production AI/LLM pipelines and workloads. 

• Mentor junior team members, conduct code reviews for automation scripts, and promote robust software engineering best practices within the security team. 

Qualifications
