Job Duties

Endpoint Detection and Response

• Operate and tune the enterprise EDR platform; investigate escalated detections, perform host triage and containment, and drive eradication and recovery actions.
• Develop and maintain custom detections, exclusions, and response policies; validate coverage against known attacker techniques.
• Monitor agent health and deployment coverage across the endpoint and server estate and work with platform teams to close gaps.

Automation and Orchestration

• Design, build, test, and maintain automation and orchestration playbooks that reduce manual analyst effort in triage, enrichment, containment, and reporting.
• Integrate security tools through APIs to move context automatically between detection, ticketing, identity, and asset systems.
• Maintain automation content in version control with peer review; measure and report time saved and error reduction.

Security Information and Event Management

• Develop, tune, and maintain correlation rules, use cases, dashboards, and alerts in the SIEM; reduce false positives while preserving detection coverage.
• Onboard new log sources, validate parsing and field normalization, and confirm data completeness and retention against monitoring and compliance requirements.
• Perform threat hunting and historical analysis across aggregated log data to identify activity that automated detections missed.

Threat Intelligence

• Consume, evaluate, and operationalize intelligence from commercial feeds, open sources, industry sharing groups, and government partners; convert relevant intelligence into detections, hunts, and blocking decisions.
• Track threat actors, campaigns, and techniques targeting the aviation, travel, hospitality, and payment sectors and brief stakeholders on relevance and recommended action.
• Produce concise written intelligence summaries for technical teams and leadership.

Vulnerability Management

• Operate scanning and assessment capabilities across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, containers, and network devices; validate findings and eliminate false positives.
• Prioritize vulnerabilities using severity, exploitability, threat intelligence, asset criticality, and exposure; partner with system owners to define remediation plans and track them to closure.
• Report on remediation performance against defined service levels and escalate aging or high-risk exposures through the established risk process.

Application Security — Static Testing (SAST)

• Operate the static analysis platform: onboard repositories, configure language and framework coverage, tune rulesets, and maintain baselines for legacy code.
• Integrate static scanning into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines; define and administer quality gates and policy thresholds in partnership with engineering.
• Triage static findings to remove false positives, confirm exploitable issues, and provide developers with specific, code-level remediation guidance and secure coding patterns.
• Support software composition analysis and secrets detection for third-party libraries, open-source dependencies, and credential leakage in source repositories.

Application Security — Dynamic Testing (DAST)

• Plan, schedule, and execute dynamic scans against web applications and APIs across pre-production and production environments, including authenticated scanning and API-definition-driven testing.
• Validate and reproduce dynamic findings, assess real-world exploitability and business impact, and route prioritized results into the remediation and risk-tracking process.
• Support and help scope third-party penetration tests and application assessments, and track resulting findings to closure.

Web Application Firewall

• Operate and tune the web application firewall protecting customer-facing and internal web applications and APIs: managed rule sets, custom rules, rate limiting, geo and reputation controls, and bot mitigation.
• Move new rules through detection only to blocking mode using traffic analysis, minimizing false positives, and avoiding disruption to legitimate customer traffic.
• Monitor and investigate WAF telemetry and blocked-event trends; correlate WAF logs into the SIEM and build detections for application-layer attack patterns, credential stuffing, scraping, and abuse.
• Support onboarding new applications and domains behind the WAF, including policy design, exclusion management, and validation testing with application teams.
• Maintain WAF configuration documentation and evidence supporti
