Stanton House is partnered exclusively with an AI Security vendor revolutionizing the MDR space with an agentic-augmented detection, triage and DFIR platform that uses AI to automate much of the triage and investigation process. We're looking to hire next generation MDR Engineers who will analyze and investigate alerts and then use your findings to build logic and behavioral rules using scripting to help the platform further automate the initial triage. This role will be approximately 50% triage and 50% engineering to begin with, with the balance expected to shirt more towards engineering as the platform develops, so you must have an initial interest in both, but understand it will become more engineering heavy.
