• Develop and maintain detection content, correlation rules, and response automation within the SIEM and SOAR platform
• Onboard new log sources and telemetry feeds, validating ingestion completeness, parsing accuracy, and field normalization
• Administer and tune endpoint detection and response tooling, including policy configuration, exclusion governance, and coverage validation
• Integrate security tooling with adjacent platforms through APIs to reduce manual handling and improve data quality
• Implement and maintain security configurations, guardrails, and baselines across Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure
• Build and maintain security automation and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or an equivalent framework, so that controls are version-controlled, repeatable, and auditable
• Implement policy-as-code and preventive guardrails using native cloud policy engines or an equivalent open policy framework
• Support cloud security posture management across all cloud environments, including finding deduplication, theme mapping, and routing to owning teams
• Harden cloud resources including compute, storage, database, container, and serverless services against established benchmarks
• Configure and maintain Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security controls, including conditional access, identity protection, and Defender workloads in a hybrid directory environment
• Implement and maintain least-privilege access models, roles, and policies across multiple cloud identity systems
• Implement container and Kubernetes security controls, including role-based access control, workload security standards, image scanning, and runtime protection
• Implement and maintain secrets management practices and tooling, and support the elimination of hard-coded credentials across environments
• Operate vulnerability management tooling, validate scan coverage, and translate raw scanner output into prioritized, owner-routed findings
• Provide technical remediation guidance to cloud, platform, identity, application, and endpoint owners, who retain accountability for closure of findings in their systems
• Implement engineering fixes for findings that fall to security-owned tooling and configuration
• Support remediation tracking for penetration test and vulnerability assessment findings by supplying technical detail and validating that fixes are technically sound
• Support incident detection and response through hands-on technical investigation, including log analysis, endpoint examination, identity and authentication tracing, and cloud audit log review
• Support escalations raised by the external managed security partner by supplying technical analysis and environment context
• Provide feedback into detection quality and alert tuning to reduce noise and improve signal for the monitoring function
• Contribute technical findings to post-incident review, and implement the resulting control and detection improvements
• Participate in tabletop exercises and resilience testing, and act on the technical gaps those exercises surface
• Document all engineering changes to security controls through the change management process, including validation criteria and rollback plans
• Produce and maintain runbooks, playbooks, and technical operating procedures for repeatable security operations tasks
• Write clear, documented, and reviewable code and configuration so that work can be inspected, maintained, and handed over without dependence on any one individual
• Support audit, certification, and customer assurance activities by producing technical evidence on request
• Maintain accurate inventory of security tooling, control coverage, licensing position, and control operating status
• Maintain strict confidentiality of security testing results, control configuration detail, and investigative material, and follow established standards for external disclosure
