You will collaborate with partner teams to improve threat detection through tuning use cases, enriching data feeds, and creating automation. The role requires experience with endpoint devices including Mac, Linux, and Windows, as well as cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

  • Develop automation to improve triage accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.
  • Interpret disparate data sources to report on trends and support investigative requests.
  • Collect requirements for enhancements to detection models and response systems.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in information technology or cyber security roles including incident response.
  • 2+ years of experience analyzing large data sets to solve problems or manage projects related to security event triage and workplace investigations.
  • Experience investigating and triaging security threats on Mac, Linux, and Windows endpoints and cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • B.S. or M.S. in Cyber Security, Data Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Working knowledge of SQL and basic knowledge of scripting or programming in Python, Go, or other languages.
  • Proven experience with log querying, digital forensics, or incident response using industry standard SIEM platforms like Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, or Elastic.
  • Proficiency using analytical methods to inform detection systems and strong cross-functional communication skills.
  • Experience with data processing tools, an adversarial mindset, or security certifications from providers like GIAC, ISACA, ISC2, OffSec, or CompTIA (preferred).
