Our AI-native platform unifies protection across endpoint, cloud, identity, data, and AI systems to deliver autonomous detection and response with clarity and speed. By combining real-time analytics, intelligent automation, and a unified data foundation, we reduce noise, simplify complexity, and empower security teams to focus on what truly matters. Our teams are builders, problem-solvers, and innovators committed to shaping the future of security. If you are excited to solve hard problems alongside talented, mission-driven people, we invite you to help us build a safer future for humanity. What Are We Looking For? We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes. What Will You Do? Primary responsibilities include: • Conduct EDR-driven incident response and vendor-agnostic forensic analysis spanning endpoint, network, cloud, and SaaS environments, including ransomware, business email compromise, identity compromise, and other common incident types. • Acquire and preserve forensic evidence from endpoint, network, and cloud sources following standard chain-of-custody procedures; support case intake by gathering initial technical details to assess scope. • Support malware and memory analysis tasks under the guidance of senior team members. • Support incident containment actions and prepare security hardening recommendations; maintain thorough case documentation throughout each investigation. • Contribute to customer-facing status updates and formal investigative reports, distilling complex technical findings for stakeholders. • Follow standard operating procedures and escalate technical or logistical questions to the assigned Technical Lead or Engagement Manager as needed. • Maintain awareness of emerging threats, attacker techniques, and evolving cybersecurity trends; contribute observed attacker techniques and indicators to the team's shared knowledge base. • Be responsive to high-pressure triage and analysis during large-scale cybersecurity incidents, maintaining composure; participate in a rotating on-call schedule for weekends and holidays. • Support handovers of investigations across regions as needed. What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring? Ideal candidates will have: • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Digital Forensics, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical self-study. • 2 or more years of hands-on experience in digital forensics, incident response, or threat hunting, ideally in a consulting or services delivery environment. • Comfort analyzing Windows environments and forensic artifacts; foundational understanding of forensic methodologies, evidence handling, acquisition techniques, and chain-of-custody procedures. • Experience with forensic tools such as X-Ways Forensics, Axiom, and FTK. • Experience with EDR/XDR platforms (SentinelOne preferred) and SIEMs. • Working knowledge of network protocols and network-based forensic analysis; scripting and automation capabilities. • Strong verbal and written communication—comfortable documenting and presenting technical findings clearly and precisely. • Ability to perform technical investigations under pressure in high-stakes, time-sensitive situations, while maintaining composure; an evident self-starter with intellectual curiosity and the ability to adapt to change. • Knowledge of Linux and macOS forensic analysis is preferred. • Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and memory analysis is preferred.
