You have at least 6+ years of cyber security experience, including 2+ years working hands-on with identity-based attacks (research, hunting, or detection engineering) on top of the modern attacker kill-chain and MITRE ATT&CK. You have pssion for defensive work - hunting, investigation, detection authoring, and protection enforcement design — with a track record of owning research end-to-end, from threat hypothesis to shipped detection and customer impact. You have Windows internals knowledge, along with working knowledge of the main identity protocols (e.g., Kerberos, NTLM, LDAP, OAuth 2.0, SAML). You demonstrated fluency leveraging Generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Security Copilot, ChatGPT/Claude) to multiply daily research output — including prompt design, model-output validation, and integrating AI assistance into investigation, coding, and detection authoring.
