Collaborate with SOC, incident response, and vulnerability management teams to ensure countermeasures are actionable, tested, and continuously improved.

Engineer security automation and orchestration workflows to accelerate incident detection and response.

Act as a technical escalation point during major incidents where adversary countermeasures must be deployed in real-time.

Monitor industry research, emerging threats, and evolving attacker techniques to ensure defenses remain ahead of adversary capabilities.

Mentor SOC engineers, detection engineers, and other cyber defense staff in adversary disruption tradecraft.

Provide input to executive leadership on countermeasure effectiveness, defensive gaps, and future-state strategies.

Education and Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent work experience; Master's degree preferred.

Work Experience

10+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, with at least 7 years in detection engineering, red / purple team operations, or cyber defense countermeasures.

Demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing countermeasures to mitigate sophisticated adversary campaigns.

Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and deception technologies (e.g., Splunk, CrowdStrike, Sentinel, Illusive, or Attivo).

Proven ability to operationalize adversary simulation and intelligence into measurable security improvements.

Experience in developing security automation scripts and tools (e.g., Python, PowerShell, or similar).

Strong communication skills with the ability to present defensive strategies and technical findings to both technical teams and executive stakeholders
