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.

• Analyze security events and logs to identify anomalous or malicious activity

• 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 or higher, or equivalent combination of education and experience
