Department Overview

Our IT organization isn’t just here to support our business. We’re here to reinvent it – by changing the way our customers, partners and employees interact with our company. To do that, we’re looking for people who bring great ideas and who make our partners’ ideas better. Intellectually curious advisors (not order takers) who focus on outcomes to creatively solve business problems. People who not only embrace change, but who accelerate it.

Job Description

We are seeking a battle-tested Senior Incident Response Engineer to join our world-class security program. This is not a "ticket-working" role; you will be the primary investigator for high-impact events and a proactive hunter tasked with reducing attacker dwell time.

Core Focus: Incident Leadership & Response

• Lead High-Impact Incidents: Act as the primary Incident Response Lead (IRL) for complex security events, directing containment, eradication, and recovery.

• Advanced Digital Forensics: Perform deep-dive analysis (host, memory, network) to determine breach scope and impact.

• Root Cause & Remediation: Execute thorough Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and lead After-Action Reviews (AAR) to ensure every incident results in a permanent security improvement.

• Containment Strategy: Develop and deploy immediate strategies to isolate threats and minimize organizational damage.

Detection, Analysis & Hunting

• Proactive Threat Hunting: Design and execute hunt missions to identify undetected malicious activity.

• Detection Engineering: Tune SIEM/EDR rules and develop high-fidelity detections based on Purple Team findings and emerging threat intel.

• Malware Analysis: Conduct static and dynamic analysis to understand adversary TTPs and extract actionable IOCs.

• SOC Escalation: Serve as the final technical authority for high-priority security anomalies.

Strategy & Process Improvement

• Playbook Development: Create and refine IR plans, runbooks, and SOPs to automate repetitive tasks and increase efficiency.

• Security Architecture: Evaluate and tune security tools (SOAR, EDR, SIEM) to enhance global posture.

• Mentorship: Coach junior staff on advanced forensic techniques and investigative logic.

 

 

Basic Requirements

• 2-3 years of experience in Incident Response

• Proven track record leading high-severity investigations and mentoring junior analysts through complex response efforts.

• Power-user experience with Splunk (SIEM) and Palo Alto (XSOAR) to detect, investigate, and automate threats.

• Deep familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain to identify and pivot on attack TTPs across Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

• Ability to build tools and automate workflows using Python, PowerShell, or Bash.

• Skilled at distilling complex technical data into succinct reports and willing to support high-pressure incidents during non-standard hours.

In return for your expertise, we’ll support you in this new challenge with coaching & development every step of the way.  Also, to reward your hard work you’ll get: 

• Competitive salary package

• Private medical & dental coverage

• Employee Pension Plan

• Life insurance

• Employee Stock Purchase Plan

• Flexible working hours

• Strong collaborative culture

• Comfortable work conditions (high-class offices, parking space)
