- Hands-on experience with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms (e.g., Crowd Strike, Sentinel One, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint).
- Strong understanding of malware analysis, threat hunting on endpoints, and incident response procedures.
- Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Power Shell, Python) for automation is a plus.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen ability to diagnose and resolve complex security issues.
- Relevant certifications such as GSEC, GCED, or similar are advantageous.
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonus.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous allowance for home office setup and ongoing remote work expenses.
