  • Ensure seamless telemetry integration from all Enterprise Defense tools into the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), and Security Operations Center (SOC) detection pipelines
  • Lead threat modeling and architecture assessments of endpoint components and dependencies
  • Proactively evaluate emerging defensive technologies to reduce risk at the endpoint and perimeter
  • Lead Proof of Concept (PoC) evaluations, Request for Proposal (RFP) processes, and architectural reviews for mergers and acquisitions in the Enterprise Defense domain
  • Work alongside Scrum engineering teams on active projects
