This candidate should have experience identifying scalable detection opportunities, codifying their ideas and be motivated to defend infrastructure against malicious actors. With focuses that range from large-scale DDoS detection, security tool development, and defense against internal and external attacks you will have the opportunity to develop your skills across these areas while contributing to meaningful security outcomes.

Infrastructure Security Monitoring Engineer Responsibilities:

• Iterate security posture to better protect against attacks and detect new vectors
• Lead efforts to mitigate and investigate security incidents
• Utilize frameworks to develop and scale detection, mitigation and response automation tooling
• Evaluate and test new vendor and home-grown initiatives for security issues
