Work closely with international teams on a global SOC vision
Mentor team members and champion best practices across the business
💡 We’re Looking For:
✅ 10+ years in cybersecurity, with a strong SOC engineering and IR background
✅ Expert in Microsoft Defender and CrowdStrike (non-negotiable)
✅ Strong scripting skills (Python preferred)
✅ Cloud-native security experience (especially AWS, Docker, K8s, ELK, etc.)
✅ Knows why alerts fire, where data lives, and how to build better detections
✅ Sharp communicator, no fluff, pragmatic and action-driven
🎯 Bonus Points:
Experience at tech-forward orgs (e.g., Amazon, Shopify, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf)
Familiar with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain
Background in startups or fast-paced environments where security innovation is key

If you’re ready to own the SOC, engineer smarter defenses, and be part of a forward-thinking team pushing the boundaries of AI in security — we want to hear from you.
