  • Lead and participate in incident response, including detection, investigation, containment, and retrospectives, applying First Principles Problem Solving to identify root causes and improve long-term resilience
  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering and platform teams to expand logging, improve observability, and embed detection capabilities into the development lifecycle
  • Continuously improve detection quality by analyzing alert performance, tuning for signal, and building feedback loops between incidents and detections using Data-Driven Decision Making
  • Proactively identify gaps in visibility or coverage and translate ambiguous problem spaces into concrete detection and response solutions through First Principles Problem Solving
  • Adapt quickly to evolving threats, tools, and priorities, helping the team maintain momentum and effectiveness through Change Agility
