TL;DR · Senior Security Technologist, Incident Commander

The Sr Security Technologist - Incident Commander leads the most critical and complex security incidents from escalation through containment and systemic remediation. Operating as a technical authority, you will command high-severity responses, set strategies, and make high-consequence decisions under pressure. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing deep technical investigations, conducting log analysis, and leading post-incident analyses to identify systemic causes. You will build and modernize tooling, conduct high-fidelity simulations, and develop threat-informed response plans. The role requires proficiency in modern attacker TTPs, telemetry analysis, and scripting in Python or Go. You will also leverage AI-assisted workflows for triage and correlation. This position solves the problem of managing security incidents in highly distributed, cloud-scale environments by providing decisive leadership and technical expertise during active threats.

What you'll do

  • Lead the end-to-end response for the highest severity and most complex security incidents as the single accountable leader.
  • Make real-time, high-consequence decisions during active incidents while balancing speed, risk, and technical impact.
  • Perform hands-on technical investigations including log analysis, system interrogation, and root cause validation.
  • Brief senior leadership during critical incidents by translating technical realities into clear risk and decision frameworks.
  • Conduct rigorous post-incident analyses to identify systemic causes and implement durable, concrete prevention measures.
  • Design and lead high-fidelity incident simulations, technical tabletop exercises, and threat-informed response planning.
  • Develop and automate incident response tooling, including detection, containment workflows, and AI-assisted investigation techniques.
  • Mentor other responders and incident leaders to improve the organization's ability to handle complex security events.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in security operations, detection, or incident response roles at scale.
  • Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, large, complex, and high-impact security incidents.
  • Deep familiarity with modern attacker TTPs across logs, systems, networks, endpoints, and applications.
  • Strong technical investigation skills using logs, telemetry, and raw system data to validate hypotheses.
  • Experience briefing executives during active incidents to explain tradeoffs, risks, and recommended actions.
  • Experience designing or running technical incident simulations like tabletops or purple team exercises.
  • Experience building or leveraging AI-driven tooling to improve incident response posture.
  • Ability to script or code in Python, Go, or similar to automate response tasks (preferred).
