- Maintain tag coverage: add new tags, fix broken ones, de-duplicate overlaps.
- Triage inbound detection requests, CVEs, and coverage questions weekly.
- Validate detections against real traffic and manage false positive/false negative trade-offs.
๐ Requirements
- Packet capture analysis: read and analyze pcaps.
- Suricata rules: experience writing or maintaining network detection signatures.
- Context switching: move between tags, rules, pcaps, and requests throughout the day.
- Attention to detail: small mistakes have outsized downstream effects.

- Exposure to large-scale internet telemetry or threat intelligence feeds.
