You will triage abuse reports, build and tune detection rules in Splunk, author automated response playbooks, and identify anti-abuse tooling requirements for engineering teams. The role involves collaborating with legal and ethical usage teams to ensure compliance with regulations like the EU Digital Services Act. To succeed, you must possess expertise in threat intelligence, incident response, and data mining. You will utilize tools such as Splunk, YARA, and Git/GitHub while working from a command line.

  • Build, tune, and maintain detection and response rules using Splunk and SPL.
  • Author and maintain automated response playbooks and standard operating procedures for incident handling.
  • Partner with legal and ethical usage teams to ensure compliance with regulations like the EU Digital Services Act.
  • Identify and document anti-abuse tooling requirements for engineering teams to close security gaps.
  • Evaluate third-party vendor tools to improve detection capabilities across the platform.
  • Perform end-to-end investigations including evidence collection, risk assessment, containment, and closure.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in information security roles involving platform abuse, threat intelligence, incident response, or threat detection.
  • Experience managing security or abuse investigations end-to-end, including triage, evidence collection, risk assessment, containment, and closure.
  • Specialization in at least one of log analysis, file-level forensics, or data mining.
  • Ability to author detection rules using languages such as YARA or Splunk SPL from a command line.
  • Experience with Splunk for detection engineering and SPL rule authoring (preferred).
  • Experience with threat intelligence tools or teams (preferred).
  • Experience with workflow orchestration or automation platforms like Temporal (preferred).
  • Familiarity with evidence handling, privacy, data retention, and regulatory considerations relevant to security investigations (preferred).
