You will be one of the team's subject matter experts on SIEM as well as cloud technologies. You will help mature how JPMC utilizes multiple SIEM solutions (primarily Splunk) for various use-cases within Cyber Operations. The ideal candidate will be someone with previous SOC and cloud experience who enjoys researching TTPs and the threat landscape and translating that research data into high quality detections. Your role involves actively seeking effective and comprehensive detection strategy and capabilities, ensuring detections are thoroughly tested, alerts are relevant, of value and playbooks are available to and understood by cybersecurity operations teams.

As one of the team's specialists on cloud technologies, you will work to mature the Attack Analysis team in how we secure, monitor and respond to incidents in both private and public cloud environments. You will work with internal security engineering and cloud engineering teams to ensure that Attack Analysis requirements are represented in the architecture, design and implementation of cloud environments. You'll help design, write and automate detection and incident response processes and tools for public and private cloud environments.

Working in cybersecurity takes passion for technology, speed, a desire to learn, and vigilance in order to keep every asset safe. You'll be on the front lines of innovation, working with a highly motivated team focused on analyzing, designing, developing and delivering solutions built to stop adversaries and strengthen our operations. Your research and work will ensure stability, capacity and resiliency of our products. Working with your internal team, as well as technologists and innovators across our global network, your ability to identify threats, provide intelligent analysis and positive actions will stop crimes and strengthen our data.
