• Conduct malware analysis, host and cloud forensics, evidence collection, and threat hunting activities to identify attack vectors, persistence mechanisms, and business impact while maintaining sound investigative practices.
• Design and implement automated security workflows, AI-assisted playbooks, and AWS-native response capabilities to improve detection accuracy and reduce MTTD and MTTR.
• Partner with Security, IT, and DevOps teams to enhance security posture, improve processes and tooling, develop detection content, and mentor junior security engineers.

• Experience conducting forensic investigations, evidence collection, log analysis, malware triage, and cloud-based incident investigations while maintaining chain-of-custody best practices.
• Strong scripting and automation skills with Python, PowerShell, and/or Bash, including building security automations using AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, and EventBridge; experience applying AI and ML technologies to security operations is highly desirable.
• Strong communication and investigative skills, including technical reporting, executive presentations, and preferred certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, OSCP, or CISSP.
