Analytical Mindset: Expert-level ability to identify and surface patterns in security data and translate those insights into solutions or process improvements.
Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of the modern threat landscape, common attacker TTPs (e.g., suspicious inbox rules, persistence mechanisms), and SOC orchestration tools.

Adaptability: A forward-thinking mindset with a passion for driving change in a cloud-first, fully remote environment.
