• Experience with observability tools and frameworks, such as SIEM systems, threat intelligence platforms, and incident response software, with the ability to integrate and analyze data from multiple sources
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with cross-functional teams, including security operations, incident response, and threat intelligence teams
