- You will work with compliance teams and other collaborators to make sure our incident processes meet all compliance and regulatory requirements while staying lean and adaptable.

- You have a passion for automation, and the ability to effectively build tooling that combines automated response actions with human judgement
- You have the skills to build automations and tools to aid response, and a sufficiently broad understanding of cloud and endpoint security to know where to focus
- You can think like an attacker, and understand how to respond to new and novel attacks that cross organizational and cloud boundaries
- You have strong experience working with incidents in cloud environments such as GCP, AWS, or Azure
- You possess excellent organizational and communication skills, and are adept at collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders across a global organization.
- You understand the current threat landscape and how it impacts incident response strategies in SaaS-oriented corporate IT environments
Where You'll Be

- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
