Responsibilities

  • Triage alerts, hunt for suspicious activity, and investigate threats across cloud, corporate, identity, endpoint, and production environments.
  • Build and tune detections, onboard telemetry, maintain log pipelines, and test detection rules against attacks and benign activity.
  • Participate in security on-call and incident response, including scoping, containment, recovery, evidence preservation, and post-incident improvements.
  • Automate evidence collection, alert enrichment, investigation timelines, and response preparation using AI-assisted workflows.
  • Evaluate AI-assisted workflows for false positives, missed threats, adversarial inputs, failure modes, and traceable evidence.
  • Partner with Infrastructure and IT on vulnerability remediation, cloud and host hardening, identity controls, and attack-surface monitoring.
  • Help secure AI-agent operations through controls for identities, credentials, tool access, audit logging, and suspicious-agent behavior detection.
  • Share reusable code, runbooks, investigation skills, documentation, and evaluation cases while pairing with and mentoring teammates.

  • Experience building and using AI-assisted tools in security or adjacent engineering work, including validating outputs, handling failures, and protecting sensitive information.
  • Sound incident judgment, including separating hypotheses from findings, preserving evidence, and deciding when to escalate or contain.
  • Evidence of improving teammates’ effectiveness through tools, mentoring, code review, or documentation without management authority.
  • Clear written communication and willingness to own urgent investigations and follow-through.
  • Helpful experience with AWS, Kubernetes, bare-metal infrastructure, detection-as-code, SOAR workflows, digital forensics, threat intelligence, attack simulation, AI-agent security, blockchain infrastructure, or sensitive-key environments.
