Deep understanding of threat analysis, attack techniques, and incident response methodologies
Proficiency with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and related security monitoring platforms
Ability to develop and maintain playbooks, runbooks, and IR documentation to a high standard

Strong analytical mindset — able to work through ambiguity, connect the dots, and communicate findings clearly
Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
Bonus Points
Hands-on experience with MITRE ATT&CK for threat mapping and detection improvement
