Full Job Description
About the Role
We're looking for a senior individual contributor to join our Detection & Response team as a Security Incident Response Analyst. In this role, you'll serve as a senior-level investigator responsible for detecting, analyzing, and responding to advanced security threats across on-prem and cloud infrastructure in a multi-vendor environment. You'll lead investigations spanning phishing, malware, insider threats, and other complex security incidents - driving them from initial detection through containment, eradication, and recovery.

What You'll Do
  • Lead end-to-end investigations into phishing, malware, insider threats, and other advanced security incidents
  • Triage and analyze security alerts, distinguishing true threats from noise, and prioritize response based on risk and business impact.
  • Perform technical malware analysis, including static and dynamic examination of suspicious files, to determine behavior, capability, and intent.
  • Conduct host and network-based analysis - analyzing system logs, processes, registry/configuration artifacts, memory, traffic patterns, DNS activity, and connection logs - to reconstruct attacker activity and identify persistence, command-and-control, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.
  • Investigate cloud-native incidents by analyzing audit logs, IAM and access activity, and network flow data to detect unauthorized access, privilege misuse, and malicious file activities across cloud environments.
  • Drive incidents through containment, eradication, and recovery, coordinating with cross-functional teams as needed.
  • Develop and refine detection logic, playbooks, and response procedures to improve the team's ability to identify and act on emerging threats.
  • Act as an escalation point for the most technically complex cases, mentoring junior analysts.
  • Document findings and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including post-incident reports and executive summaries.
