• Leverage previous SOC experience to enhance the CIRT’s knowledge-base and expertise
• Actively engage with the CIRT team to challenge the status quo for detecting adversarial behavior

• Proven experience with automation and orchestration to effectively handle an extreme volume of telemetry and logs in a timely and efficient manner
• Strong written communication skills, and abilities to work in a team-centric environment
• Strong analytical thought-process and critical thinking skills to translate disparate activity into the realm of threat analysis
• Open-source intelligence research skills used in a fast-paced operational environment, and the ability to apply those findings within the analytical workflow to identify threats
• Experience leveraging Mitre ATT&CK framework, and  familiarity with other alternative attack frameworks and threat models
• Familiarity with backend data structures used for security analysis (JSON, YAML, etc.)
• Experience using query languages and understanding syntax across EDR or other security platforms (SQL, K, Lucene, etc.)
• Experience creating and tuning  detectors/rules using commonly known tools such as YARA, SIGMA, Snort, Splunk, Elastic, etc.

Bonus Points
