You will also get involved in some cool projects when things are a little quieter, helping us develop and grow.

• Solid understanding of AWS architecture, services and API’s
• Forensic analysis experience (Endpoint, Memory, Malware)
• Hands-on working experience evaluating and tuning alerts within a SIEM.
• Proven ability to leverage core security, cloud, and infrastructure technologies during investigations
• Evidence of experience administering or investigating Mac OS, Linux OS
• One or more of the following certifications (CISSP, CISM, CCSP, Security+, CEH SANS GIAC 503/504/508/509, AWS Security)

We have a hybrid working model, so you’ll be based in our office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and can work from home on Monday and Friday.

Many of our associates have flexible working arrangements, and we're open to talking about an arrangement that works for you.
