About the Role

We are looking for an Associate Threat Intelligence & Response Engineer to help detect, investigate, and respond to internal and external security threats. This role combines hands-on incident response with security tooling and automation and is critical to strengthening the company’s overall security posture. You will be responsible for analyzing and responding to security incidents, improving detection capabilities, and building scalable solutions to prevent future threats.

What You'll Do

• Investigate, triage, and respond to security incidents across cloud and on-prem environments
• Analyze security events and logs to identify anomalous or malicious activity
• Develop, tune, and maintain SIEM detections and alerting logic
• Design, build, and manage tools for detection, enrichment, and response automation
• Conduct threat analysis to determine scope, impact, and containment actions
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to remediate systemic security issues
• Identify trends in incidents and recommend improvements to reduce risk
• Develop and maintain incident response runbooks and lead tabletop exercises
• Build deep familiarity with the company’s technology stack to identify security gaps

About You

• 1-2 years of experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, or a related field
• Strong experience with SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk) and event correlation
• Hands-on experience in incident response, threat detection, and analysis
• Familiarity with enterprise security tools (EDR, IDS/IPS, vulnerability management)
• Solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP), operating systems (*nix, Windows), and cloud environments (AWS)
• Experience writing detections, enrichment logic, or response automation scripts
• You actively use AI to improve your work — from accelerating analysis and detections development to thinking through problems from a different angle. You're thoughtful about accuracy and data sensitivity, and you bring ideas for how the team can work more effectively using AI.
• Ability to assess threats and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments with ambiguity and competing priorities
• Strong judgment, integrity, and understanding of security ethics
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field; or equivalent work experience

Nice to Have:

• Experience developing tools or scripts (e.g., Python)
• Background in building scalable detection or response frameworks
• Project management experience
