- Conduct hypothesis-driven threat hunts and translate financial-sector threat intel and purple team findings into durable detections.
- Document attacker activity for executive briefings and regulatory reports, driving post-incident corrective actions with IT and engineering partners.
- Document and maintain investigation runbooks, operational data and case detail behind SOC metrics and reporting, and evidence of audit, assurance, and client security.
- Partner with cybersecurity function to align detection and response priorities with the organizations risk picture.
- Build and maintain automated response and enrichment playbooks within approved guardrails and evaluate new security tooling and automation.
- Supervise AI triage and investigation agents day to day, develop detection and investigation capability for AI-related threats, and tune agent configuration with results and analyst feedback.
- Evening and weekend hours may be required to support cybersecurity.
Requirements

- Experience in financial services or regulated environments is strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, prompt injection risks, and MITRE ATLAS.
- Proven lead on complex investigations, root cause analysis, and containment across Endpoint (EDR), Identity, and Cloud (AWS) environments.
- Hands-on experience authoring detections as code (version control), building SIEM/SOAR playbooks, mapping to MITRE ATT&CK, and executing threat hunts.
- Strong query and scripting skills (Python preferred), with experience working directly with REST APIs.
