• Create and maintain correlation rules, dashboards, and reports to detect anomalies and security threats. 
• Integrate data sources from various systems (network, endpoints, cloud, applications) into the SIEM. 
• Optimize data ingestion, parsing, and normalization to reduce noise and improve performance. 

SOAR Platform Integration & Automation:

• Deploy and manage SOAR platforms (e.g., Google SecOps SOAR, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, IBM Resilient, or similar). 
• Design and develop automated playbooks for incident response, threat intelligence enrichment, and alert triage. 
• Collaborate with SOC analysts to streamline workflows and reduce response time through automation.
• Maintain integrations with ticketing systems, threat intel feeds, and security tools.

Security Engineering & Support: 

• Support incident response teams with actionable alerts and automated processes.
• Perform root cause analysis of recurring security events and develop engineering solutions to prevent them.
• Collaborate with compliance and audit teams to ensure security controls meet regulatory requirements. 
• Provide training and documentation to SOC and IT teams on the use of SIEM/SOAR tools.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field. 
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 2 years in SIEM/SOAR administration or engineering.
• Experience in a Security Operations Center (SOC) environment is preferred.

Technical Skills: 

• Strong hands-on experience with at least one major SIEM (e.g., Google SecOps, Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel, ArcSight).
• Experience with SOAR platforms and playbook development.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation and tool integration.
• Understanding of security frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, CIS Controls). 
• Familiarity with EDR/XDR, firewalls, IDS/IPS, threat intelligence platforms, and cloud security tools (AWS, Azure, or GCP). 

Soft Skills:

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication abilities.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate across cross-functional teams

Additional Requirements:

• Must be willing to work on a shifting schedule and report 3x a week to daily onsite at Cyberpark, Cubao or Cebu
