Cyderes is seeking an Operations Advisor for Cyber Defense Operations to serve as the primary technical owner of detection outcomes for assigned clients. In this role, you will improve detection quality, identify coverage gaps, and advance client security maturity through expert-level advisory and hands-on detection engineering.
Key responsibilities include owning and maintaining detection coverage aligned to the Cyderes Rule Set, leading tuning and optimization of detection rules across SIEM platforms (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Chronicle, or equivalent), and identifying, prioritizing, and remediating detection gaps. You will serve as a trusted advisor on detection strategy and operational effectiveness, partnering with SOC and DFIR teams during escalations and overseeing the technical account relationship for assigned clients.
You will lead technical cadence calls focused on detection performance, gaps, and outcomes, translating technical findings into risk-based, business-relevant insights. Your guidance will help clients prioritize improvements based on detection impact, and you will leverage threat hunting methodologies and retrohunt program execution to drive continuous improvement.
Required qualifications include 3–5 years of experience in detection engineering, security operations, or related discipline. You must demonstrate hands-on proficiency with one or more enterprise SIEM platforms and proven experience writing and tuning detection rules in production environments. Experience in a managed security services (MSSP) environment serving multiple clients is essential, along with proficiency in multiple SIEM query languages (SPL, KQL, YARA-L, or similar). Familiarity with SOAR platforms, automation-assisted detection workflows, and threat hunting methodologies is expected. Relevant certifications such as GCIA, GCIH, GCDA, or SIEM vendor certifications are preferred.
Cyderes offers a hybrid work model (2–3 days in office), comprehensive benefits including medical and life insurance, retirement matching, paid time off, professional development reimbursement, and access to LinkedIn Learning. The company is Great Place to Work Certified across multiple regions.
