The Team

The Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) is responsible for handling information security incidents and crises across the business. SIRT leverages training, liaison and tooling to scale incident response and mitigate a broad range of risks. We proactively use our experience and data to drive and advocate for investments that drive down risk.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Security Engineer with expertise as a Security Incident Commander/Manager. This role requires broad domain experience in security engineering, data engineering, and software engineering. As a member of SIRT you will triage and investigate security events, and actively lead security incident response as part of our on-call rotation. You will apply lessons learned to improve incident handling and resolution and you will utilize your broad domain expertise to identify points of leverage for automation in our operational response work. 

You will work cross functionally with other teams and stakeholders to expand our incident management tooling for non security domains and to remediate risks identified during security incidents. This role blends operational security incident response, data engineering, and some software engineering with approximately 40% of the time spent on security incident response and post-incident actions, and 60% spent on engineering tasks and stakeholder engagement.

Desired Background

• At least 5 years of experience across different security domains such as detection and incident response, identity and access management, corporate/enterprise security, or product security incident response

• 3+ years of demonstrated experience in Incident Management as a Security Incident Commander responding to large scale security incidents

• Experience with designing, building, testing, deploying, maintaining, and supporting applications in cloud production environments

• Experience with data engineering principles, ETL pipelines, system design and architecture as well as software development life cycles

• Demonstrated experience with big data platforms and relational database management systems and their query languages (e.g. SQL)

• You are passionate about bringing order to the chaos of Security Incident Response and leading large scale incidents as an incident manager

• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and can communicate complex concepts to a broad range of cross-functional partners

• You operate effectively across teams and disciplines in highly ambiguous and rapidly changing environments
