• Own and improve the incident response lifecycle: act as incident commander for high-severity incidents
• Join the team's on-call rotation: triage inbound alerts/escalations, coordinate internal and company-wide incidents
• Improve response readiness: create and automate playbooks, conduct tabletop exercises
• Address security telemetry gaps: improve existing or build/deploy new tools
• Increase detection quality: write and tune high-signal detections (in Sigma)
• Proactively identify and implement areas of improvement and modernization

Required

• Proven incident response leadership: experience as the primary incident commander for high-severity security incidents involving multiple teams and external stakeholders, and can independently manage incident timelines, decisions, and communications
• Operational rigor and investigation depth: demonstrated experience with triage, scoping, containment, and remediation across endpoint, cloud, and/or network based incidents; drives root-cause analysis and post-incident action items to completion.
