• Maintaining and tuning our SIEM, detections and container images, using AI and automation to cut down manual work
• Running security reviews of new AI tools, connectors and MCPs before they're enabled for the business
  

• Represent SecOps with our leadership team, translating technical risk into clear, practical advice that shapes business decisions
• Mentor our Intermediate SecOps Engineer, sharing your knowledge and helping grow the team's capability as the function matures
• Partner early with product, platform and engineering teams to set guardrails and understand what matters

• AI built into how you work, whether that's triage, scripting or problem solving
