+ Provision static or ephemeral test environments via Terraform/Kubernetes across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

+ Develop continuous adversarial threat-simulation tests for defensive control validation and resiliency assessment.

+ Generate high-fidelity telemetry for EDR, SIEM, and SOAR to measure detection coverage, latency, and control effectiveness.

+ Research detection brittleness, design mutation/variant tests, and enhance test cases to strengthen detection logic.

+ Manage work intake pipeline and ensure timely closure of ticketed requests within SLA.

+ Produce ATT&CK-mapped artifacts, dashboards, and coverage metrics for Detection Engineering and leadership.

+ Enforce platform security through RBAC, secrets management, audit logging, and execution safety controls.

+ Collaborate with CTI, Threat Hunt, and SOC teams to evolve test cases based on real-world threats and gaps.

+ Understanding of detection architectures (EDR, SIEM, SOAR) and telemetry generation.

+ Ability to build secure, observable, fault-tolerant services.

+ Experience automating adversary simulation or Purple Team workflows.

+ Hands-on with IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

+ Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, D3FEND, CAPEC, and threat-informed defense methodologies.

+ Integration experience with ServiceNow, Jira, or enterprise workflow systems.

+ Exposure to graph visualization tools and automated reporting/dashboard creation.
