    • Leverage endpoint, network, cloud, application, and other security telemetry to improve threat visibility and detection. 

    • Troubleshoot complex SIEM, XDR, security, infrastructure, and networking issues and serve as a technical escalation point for other engineers. 

    • Support integrations between USM Anywhere and endpoint, cloud, network, identity, and other security technologies. 

    • Develop automation and scripting to improve operational efficiency and enhance security response capabilities. 

    • Identify opportunities to improve detection quality, system performance, reliability, scalability, and operational processes. 

    • Support the architecture and deployment of new SIEM/XDR environments and customer solutions. 

    • Create and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, procedures, and operational standards. 

    • Collaborate with Security Operations, Engineering, Service Delivery, and other technical teams to resolve complex customer and operational issues. 

    • Participate in change management and CAB processes. 

    • Stay current with emerging SIEM, XDR, threat detection, automation, and security operations technologies. 

Qualifications for success:

    • 5+ years of overall IT experience, including at least 2 years in cybersecurity engineering, security operations, or a related security role. 

    • 2+ years of hands-on experience implementing, administering, troubleshooting, or engineering SIEM and/or XDR solutions. 

    • Strong hands-on experience with USM Anywhere or a comparable enterprise SIEM/XDR platform. 

    • Strong understanding of SIEM concepts, including log collection, normalization, correlation, alerting, detection, dashboards, and security event analysis. 

    • Experience developing, tuning, or troubleshooting security detections and understanding the underlying data supporting those detections. 

    • Strong technical troubleshooting and advanced problem-solving skills. 

    • Experience with security automation or scripting using PowerShell, Python, Bash, SQL, or similar technologies. 

    • Foundational understanding of cloud security and infrastructure in AWS and/or Azure. 

    • Working knowledge of networking concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, and IPsec. 

    • Strong written and verbal communication skills. 

  • #LI-CS1

Preferred Qualifications:

    • Advanced experience with USM Anywhere and/or related LevelBlue security technologies. 

    • Experience with Open XDR and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) capabilities. 

    • Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, SentinelOne, Splunk, FortiSIEM, LogRhythm, or other major SIEM/XDR platforms. 

    • Experience working in an MSSP, managed security services, or professional services environment. 

    • Experience supporting multiple customer environments or multitenant security platforms. 

    • Strong Windows and Linux administration experience. 

    • Experience with SQL, Elasticsearch, or other security data platforms. 

    • Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. 

    • Relevant cybersecurity or vendor certifications. 

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. 

In addition to a career in the challenging world of cyber security, Avertium offers competitive salaries, full benefits, unlimited paid time off, participation in 401(k), and opportunities for professional growth and development.
