In this role, you will serve as a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, engineering, and optimizing Cortex XSIAM to deliver high-fidelity detections, scalable automation, and rapid incident response. You will work with rich telemetry spanning endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data to turn adversary behavior into actionable analytics that measurably reduce risk. This position is ideal for an experienced detection or security operations engineer who thrives at the intersection of platform engineering and threat expertise. You will collaborate closely with SOC analysts, incident responders, and fellow engineers, influence detection strategy, and mentor others while working on creative solutions that matter at enterprise scale. You'll have the opportunity to shape how security operations evolves, driving improvements in signal quality, automation maturity, and mean time to respond, while continuously expanding your technical depth in XSIAM, XQL, and advanced security analytics. Some of the things you'll be doing: * Platform Engineering: Design, deploy, and maintain Cortex XSIAM detections, correlations, and analytics across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data sources. Build and tune detection logic to reduce noise while improving true positive rates. Perform ongoing platform optimization, including ingest management, rule tuning, and performance improvements. * Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting: Develop and maintain custom detections using XQL (Cortex Query Language). Conduct proactive threat hunting and investigations using XSIAM analytics and telemetry. Translate threat intelligence and adversary techniques into actionable detections aligned to MITRE ATT&CK. * Automation & Response: Design and maintain automated response playbooks to accelerate incident containment and remediation. Integrate XSIAM with enterprise tooling (e.g., identity, EDR, ticketing, cloud, network security platforms). Support continuous improvement of MTTR through automation and orchestration. * Operations & Collaboration: Partner with SOC analysts, incident responders, and engineering teams on investigations and response activities. Support post-go-live enhancements, backlog grooming, and technical debt reduction initiatives. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and analysts. ## Related Videos - [Fighting the Next Wave of Cybercrime](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100331-fighting-the-next-wave-of-cybercrime) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [JavaScript?
