• Strong knowledge of forensic tools, log analysis, and incident response methodologies such as NIST IR
• Familiarity with SOC operations, detection engineering, and threat hunting
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels
• Relevant certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, GREM, or CHFI are highly regarded

Why join
This is an opportunity to work within a collaborative, forward-thinking cyber security environment where innovation and continuous improvement are part of the culture. You will play a key role in advancing SOC maturity and helping enterprise clients strengthen their defensive posture.
