What you will do

• Design, deploy, integrate, and optimize Entity and User Behavior Analytics (EUBA) and Non-Human Identity Behavior Analytics (NHIBA).
• Aggregate identity, endpoint, application, cloud, API, privileged-access, secrets, and workload telemetry to establish behavioral baselines and risk-based detections.
• Develop threat hunts and cross-domain detections for credential misuse, privilege abuse, lateral movement, anomalous access, and automated workload activity.
• Integrate behavioral findings with SIEM, XDR, SOAR, identity threat detection, and case-management workflows.
• Automate enrichment, triage, risk scoring, investigation, containment, credential rotation, access restriction, and escalation.
• Lead technical initiatives, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, document architecture and runbooks, and represent security engineering in cross-functional discussions.

Requirements

• 4–8 years of hands-on experience in security engineering, detection engineering, identity security, threat hunting, security analytics, or a related discipline.
• Experience developing behavioral analytics, anomaly detections, correlation logic, threat-hunting queries, or risk-scoring methods from security telemetry.
• Experience analyzing workforce, privileged, service, machine, application, API, or cloud workload identities.
• Hands-on experience with SIEM, XDR, UEBA/EUBA, identity threat detection and response, SOAR, or comparable security analytics platforms.
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, privilege, credentials, tokens, secrets, service accounts, workload identities, and identity-based attack techniques.
• Experience integrating telemetry from identity providers, endpoints, cloud platforms, applications, privileged-access systems, and other enterprise security technologies.
• Proficiency in at least one query, scripting, or programming language such as KQL, SPL, SQL, Python, PowerShell, or equivalent.
• Experience measuring and tuning detection efficacy, including false-positive reduction, coverage analysis, validation, and operationalization.
• Experience leading complex security initiatives through design, implementation, testing, stakeholder coordination, and operational adoption.
• Ability to communicate analytical findings, behavioral risk, and technical recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Relevant security certifications such as CySA+, SSCP, Security+, or equivalent, plus experience mentoring or guiding junior engineers.

Nice to have

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Data Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience with statistical analysis, machine learning, graph analytics, peer-group analysis, entity resolution, or AI-assisted security analytics.
• Experience detecting threats involving service accounts, machine and workload identities, OAuth applications, API keys, certificates, tokens, secrets, or autonomous agents.
• Working knowledge of AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud identity and workload services.
• Experience with identity providers, privileged-access management, secrets management, cloud identity, CI/CD, containers, and workload orchestration.
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, identity-focused threat frameworks, behavioral detection methodologies, and detection-as-code.
• Experience supporting governance, privacy, compliance, or audit requirements for identity and behavioral telemetry.
