Senior Cybersecurity Lead

Lead the defense of a platform millions trust, owning detection, response, and threat hunting across a sovereign, zero trust environment.

RQMNA defends the sovereign platforms millions trust with their most sensitive data.

We are hiring a Senior Cybersecurity Lead, on site in Muscat, to lead detection, response, and threat hunting for a national platform.

What you'll do: Lead the security operations that detect, hunt, and shut down threats before they reach citizens' data.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead security operations: monitoring, detection, and incident response across a sovereign, multitenant platform
• Build and tune detection engineering: rules, analytics, and use cases across SIEM and SOAR
• Run incident response end to end, from triage to containment, eradication, and lessons learned
• Drive proactive threat hunting and threat intelligence, and feed it back into the defenses
• Automate response with SOAR playbooks to cut mean time to detect and respond
• Lead red and purple team exercises, and turn findings into hardening
• Align operations to data protection law, ISO 27001, and NIST, with audit ready evidence
• Lead, mentor, and grow the security operations team, and own escalation and on call

What makes you a fit:

• You have led security operations or incident response for systems that were genuinely under threat
• You think like an attacker and build detection that catches them
• You are hands on with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and detection engineering, not just dashboards
• You have run real incidents under pressure, and made the program better afterward
• You turn frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST into operational controls and evidence
• You hold a Bachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field; offensive or defensive security certifications are a plus
• You lead calmly, communicate risk clearly, and grow the people around you
• Bonus points for government, critical national infrastructure, or sovereign environments
• Fluent English required; Arabic is a valuable advantage

If you would rather hunt the threat than read about the breach, lead it here. Apply.
