- Produce clear deliverables such as detection strategies, use case catalogues and coverage assessments
What you'll bring
- Strong SIEM engineering experience, ideally Microsoft Sentinel
- Proven KQL detection writing
- SOAR experience (Logic Apps, Cortex XSOAR or similar)
- Python or PowerShell scripting, including API integration
- XDR/EDR experience (Defender, CrowdStrike, Cortex or similar)
- Azure security telemetry knowledge
- Consultancy or customer-facing background, with excellent communication skills
Nice to have: XSIAM, SentinelOne, NDR tools (Vectra, Corelight), threat intelligence enrichment.
