You will contribute significantly to both deterministic automation (traditional if/then scripts) and our cutting-edge agentic, LLM-powered auto-triage framework. Have good programming or scripting skills (Python, Go, PowerShell, Bash, or similar).

  • Be natural curiosity combined with a thoughtful investigative mindset and eagerness to continuously learn and grow.

  • Have hands-on query-building experience with security data platforms (SPL, KQL, Lucene, CQL, SQL, etc.).
