  • Perform guided response activities under supervision, including alert enrichment, containment support, documentation, and coordination with more senior team members during active investigations
  • Validate alerts and contribute to improving detection fidelity by identifying false positives and providing feedback to enhance detection logic and coverage
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of investigation guides, runbooks, and playbooks, while learning to leverage automation, SOAR workflows, and AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency
  • Identify gaps in telemetry, monitoring, or processes and escalate improvement opportunities to support continuous enhancement of detection and response capabilities

Requirements

  • Foundational knowledge of security detection, investigation, or incident response principles, with a demonstrated ability to learn and apply concepts across multiple domains
  • Basic experience with log analysis and telemetry interpretation, including familiarity with querying or analyzing data using tools such as SIEM platforms or query languages (KQL, SPL, SQL, or similar)
  • Exposure to security platforms and technologies such as SIEM, EDR/XDR, identity systems, or cloud environments
  • Foundational understanding of common attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), with familiarity of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to follow structured investigation processes and document findings clearly
  • Effective communication skills, including the ability to provide clear updates and collaborate with team members during investigations
