• Participate in threat modeling scenarios with cross-functional partners to understand weaknesses across Cloud, Mobile, Endpoints, and other environments incorporating findings into security controls and/or detection signatures
• Organise and conduct threat hunting and data baselines to identify anomalous patterns in data
• Participate in an on-call rotation responding to security events and conducting incident response investigations while effectively communicating findings to key stakeholders
• Proactively collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders

Although we list out what we generally look for, we are very likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit, but are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalised groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!
