Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced and technically proficient Information Security Specialist (L10) to lead CTD's AI-driven detection engineering capability. This role owns the design, implementation, and operation of machine learning-enhanced detections across SIEM/XDR ecosystems, elevating alert fidelity and analyst productivity through automation, codified pipelines, and governed model lifecycle. You will partner with CSOC, CSIRT, Threat Hunting, and platform teams to deliver enterprise-scale detections that adapt to evolving threats, while mentoring L9 engineers and shaping CTD's detection roadmap.

Key Responsibilities

AI Detection Engineering & Content Leadership

• Design, build, and productionize ML/AI detections (e.g., anomaly detection, behavior models, graph analytics) for Microsoft Defender (MDI/MDE/MDO), Sentinel, Splunk, and related platforms; champion model quality, drift monitoring, and explain ability.

• Establish feature pipelines and training/evaluation frameworks (offline/online) that support rapid iteration and safe rollout through CI/CD and detection-as-code workflows.

• Author and maintain reusable content libraries (rules, models, enrichers) aligned to MITRE ATT&CK and enterprise risk models; drive consistency and reusability across domains.

Security Use Case Lifecycle (AI-Enhanced)

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle for AI-enabled use cases: problem framing, data readiness, threat modeling, model selection, validation, deployment, tuning, and retirement; maintain auditable artifacts for governance.

• Integrate detections with XSOAR playbooks, enrichment services, and case management to enable automated triage/response where risk criteria are met.

Program & Platform Contributions

• Map AI use cases and threat models to convert high-value scenarios into AI-assisted detections; ensure MDI/XDR ↔ XSOAR synchronization and playbook readiness.

• Contribute to the detection platform vision (content libraries, testing harness, BAS integration, governance dashboards) to scale coverage and reduce time-to-detect.

Preferred Qualifications :

• 7+ years in detection engineering, data science for security, proven delivery of production ML detections and MLOps pipelines.

• Deep expertise with SIEM/SOAR/XDR (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, XSOAR, Microsoft Defender suite) and threat detection methodologies; hands-on with content engineering and model governance.

• Strong skills in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow), PowerShell, and SQL/KQL; experience with feature engineering, cross-validation, A/B experiments, drift detection, and explainability.

• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, kill-chain and threat modeling practices; ability to translate TTPs into signals, features, and labels.

• Demonstrated ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders; clear written/spoken communication; experience mentoring engineers and leading cross-functional initiatives.
