• You monitor and analyse security events using detection and response platforms (e.g. SIEM, XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Wazuh), investigating anomalies and coordinating appropriate response actions.
• You strengthen the security posture by identifying and managing vulnerabilities through scanning and assessment approaches (e.g. Qualys, Trivy), working closely with engineering teams to ensure timely remediation.

• You participate in the evaluation and optimisation of security technologies, including application security testing tools (e.g. MobSF), contributing to their integration within the overall architecture and ensuring their effective operational use.
