This role blends deep SOC (Security Operations Center) investigative expertise with hands-on security automation engineering, focusing on CrowdStrike Falcon and Torq to build scalable, AI-assisted detection and response workflows. The ideal candidate has practical experience integrating large language model (LLM) tools such as Claude into security operations - for triage acceleration, playbook generation, and analyst augmentation - while operating within a strict Zero Trust, defense-in-depth security posture appropriate to a state Attorney General's office. Key Responsibilities * Serve as a SOC analysis & Tier 3 escalation point for complex security incidents, performing deep-dive investigation, root cause analysis, and threat hunting across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity telemetry. * Design, build, and maintain detection analytics, dashboards, and hunting queries (Falcon Query Language / FQL) within CrowdStrike Falcon, tuning correlation rules and detection logic to reduce false positives and improve mean-time-to-detect (MTTD). * Architect and maintain security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) playbooks in Torq, integrating CrowdStrike Falcon, identity providers, ticketing, and communication platforms into automated response workflows. * Design AI-assisted analyst workflows (e.g., automated triage summarization, alert enrichment, playbook drafting) using approved generative AI tooling, ensuring all inputs are sanitized and free of regulated or case-specific data. * Lead incident response efforts for high-severity events, coordinating with IT, legal, and divisional stakeholders while strictly adhering to FTI/CJI handling restrictions. * Develop and maintain detection engineering documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Tier 1/Tier 2 analyst use. * Mentor and provide technical guidance to Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC analysts; review and validate their investigative work and escalation quality. * Continuously evaluate and integrate emerging SOC automation and AI capabilities, presenting proposals for tooling changes with documented risk and compliance analysis. * Participate in an on-call rotation for critical incident escalations.
