  • Provide 3rd-level support for cyber incidents and investigations
  • Work closely with service delivery teams to strengthen client-facing security processes
  • Partner with developers to architect secure, resilient applications

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field
  • 5+ years’ experience in cyber security roles
  • Solid knowledge across firewalls, SIEM, endpoint protection, and intrusion detection
