- Architect and build scalable services and data pipelines that collect, normalize, enrich, and correlate Red Team telemetry.
- Develop monitoring, hunting, detection, and alerting capabilities that distinguish authorized Red Team activity from genuine adversary behavior.
- Build deconfliction capabilities using operational context, asset and identity information, infrastructure signals, and behavioral telemetry while protecting sensitive information.
- Own the authoritative inventory of Red Team infrastructure, tooling, identities, and metadata, keeping it accurate, automated, auditable, and usable.
- Improve testing, reliability, observability, secure development, deployment, and infrastructure lifecycle practices across Red Team systems.
