The Detection Engineer will work on the Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) within the Information Security organization. Design, engineer, and implement security detection initiatives under the cybersecurity team lead. Develop new detection logic for SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel) and network security platforms (Cisco FirePower, IDS/IPS), incorporating AI-driven tooling where applicable. Write and optimize KQL queries for Sentinel to improve detection fidelity and reduce false positives. Tune detection sets to raise security-relevant events for triage and response teams. Maintain version control of detection logic using Git and GitHub workflows for collaborative development and auditability. Bridge the gap between network engineering and cybersecurity teams to advocate for secure network designs and maximize security device capabilities. Conduct technical briefings to enhance team awareness of network architecture and detection strategies. Collaborate with operations and management to recommend improvements to security posture and ensure compliance with industry and federal standards (e.g., NIST, CISA).
