To maintain a competitive advantage as we grow, we are currently looking for a new "Cyber Defense Engineer"

Job Purpose:

Why this function is existing? If it does not exist, what sort of loss and/or missing opportunities we shall miss?

• Maintain SIEM platform stability, performance, and availability.
• Onboard log sources and ensure proper parsing to provide analysts with complete and accurate visibility.
• Develop, deploy, and continuously tunne detection rules based on analyst feedback.
• Maintain operational continuity through structured shift handovers.
• Monitor data pipelines to ensure log flow continuity and identify coverage gaps.

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years in security engineering or SIEM administration
• Bachelor’s in computer science, Information Security, IT, or related field (or equivalent work experience)
• Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Fleet, Logstash) administration and management
• Log parsing, normalization, and data pipeline management
• Detection rule development using KQL, EQL, or similar query languages
• Linux and Windows system administration fundamentals
