• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and SIEM technologies, including alert review, triage and investigation
• Assessing and implementing security controls for Azure and Windows environments
• Producing scripts to automate operational tasks using Python, PowerShell, Bash, etc
• Developing and executing threat hunts across EDR and/or SIEM would be a bonus

Some of the key skills and attributes we're looking for:
