Create searchable audit logging infrastructure and behavioral analytics capabilities via DBT frameworks.
Establish active feedback loops with investigators to tune detection logic and lower false positive rates.
Scrape and normalize external data sources to power threat enrichment and detection workflows.

Requirements

Experience utilizing data pipeline orchestration tools such as DBT or Airflow.
Familiarity with core threat intelligence concepts like threat correlation techniques, YARA rules, and IOCs.
