What Youll Do

As a senior incident response engineer, you will combine deep technical ability with strong collaboration and leadership skills to provide technical thought leadership across the various security operations disciplines including incidence response, threat detection and vulnerability management.

Core Responsibilities:

Incident Detection and Triage : Monitor SIEM for alerts and anomalies. Identify and triage potential security incidents (e.g., malware infections, phishing, data exfiltration).

Incident Response and Mitigation : Lead investigations into confirmed incidents. Contain, eradicate, and recover from security events. Coordinate with internal stakeholders to implement remediation. Collect and preserve evidence for internal investigations or potential legal action. Contribute to incident response teams, maintaining relevant communication in emails, ticket summaries, analysis and reporting. Work with Incident handlers to provide recommendations for remediation of compromised systems and any relevant countermeasures.

Threat Analysis and Hunting : Perform threat hunting to proactively identify risks. Analyze indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Playbook and Automation Development : Develop and enhance incident response playbooks. Identify opportunities for automation to streamline incident handling.

Post-Incident Activities : Lead post-incident reviews (PIRs), documenting lessons learned. Recommend and track corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Be able to translate incident response outcomes into documentation and reports to satisfy audit and compliance reviews.

Other Responsibilities

o Monitor various security blogs, alerts and notifications, RSS feeds and forums to keep abreast of the latest security news, attacks, threats, vulnerabilities and exploits.

o Applying the output of threat hunts into new detections and gap assessment

o Monitor various security blogs, alerts and notifications, RSS feeds and forums to keep abreast of the latest security news, attacks, threats, vulnerabilities and exploits.

o Build automated log correlations in Splunk or a similar tool to identify anomalous and potentially malicious behavior.

o Review, create or document standard operating procedures, recommendations, projects specific documents and resource guides as needed.

o Supervise vulnerabilities and work with engineering teams to drive proper mitigations.

o Supervise security operations queues to ensure timely triage of operations events and requests
