Staff Security Engineer Detection & Response

Your goal to improve the education process and better the lives of students by keeping their data secure.

What You Will Do

• Triage and investigate alerts from our SIEM/UEBA, endpoint detection and response, cloud, and email security platforms to determine whether indicators of compromise represent a real intrusion
• Declare, lead, and manage security incidents end to end endpoint compromise, cloud and infrastructure compromise, credential theft, phishing, and insider risk through containment, eradication, and recovery
• Own written incident documentation, including timelines, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews that drive durable fixes rather than one-off cleanup
• Build, tune, and maintain detection content to expand coverage of real attacker behavior while reducing false positives and alert fatigue
• Develop and maintain incident response playbooks and runbooks
• Between incidents, contribute to security engineering work: deploying and operating security tooling in our cloud environment, closing logging and telemetry gaps, and automating response actions
• Partner with IT, engineering, and cloud platform teams to drive remediation of identified weaknesses to closure

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of relevant work experience, with significant time spent in security operations, detection and response, or incident response
• Hands-on experience investigating alerts across SIEM/UEBA and endpoint detection and response tooling, and separating true positives from noise at volume
• Demonstrated experience leading incident response from detection through recovery, including coordinating responders and stakeholders across teams
• Strong understanding of attacker tradecraft and common attack paths across endpoint, identity, network, and cloud, and familiarity with a framework such as MITRE ATT&CK
• Working knowledge of security in cloud environments, ideally AWS, including identity, logging, and the misconfigurations attackers most often abuse
• Experience writing and tuning detection logic, correlation rules, or queries against large log data sets
• Scripting and automation ability, such as Python, and comfort working with open-source tools and APIs to connect systems and remove manual effort
• Practical familiarity with Windows, macOS, and Linux internals, and the forensic artifacts each produces during an investigation
• Sound judgment and composure under pressure, including the ability to make decisions with incomplete information
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to explain an incident clearly to both engineers and executives
• Ability to work independently and with various other teams across the organization
• Creative, resourceful, and adaptive problem solving

Stand Out Qualifications

• Experience with a SIEM or UEBA platform such as Exabeam, and an endpoint detection and response platform such as SentinelOne
• Experience working in AWS with features such as GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Security Hub, Inspector, IAM, WAF and Shield
• Experience managing detection content as code, under version control and peer review
• Familiarity with SOAR platforms and automated response workflows
• Digital forensics, malware analysis, or reverse engineering experience
• Experience working with container technologies including Docker and Kubernetes
• Relevant certifications such as GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, OSCP, or AWS Certified Security – Specialty
