About the role

  • Develop and maintain threat models for critical systems, including SaaS integrations, APIs, and identity flows, identifying attack paths and prioritizing mitigations
  • Drive improvements in detection engineering by mapping adversary TTPs (e.g., via MITRE ATT&CK) to logging, alerting, and response capabilities
  • Collaborate with cloud and platform teams to ensure secure configuration and continuous compliance across SaaS and IaaS environments
  • Mentor engineers and architects on secure design principles, SaaS security risks, and adversarial thinking
  • Hands on experience in Cyber Threat and Offensive Security operations to test and validate the effective operation of security controls, measuring the ability to stop threats and attacks at the earliest point in the kill chain
