About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help build and mature an insider threat detection and response program from the ground up. You will join a front-line security team that detects, investigates, and responds to threats against company data, systems, and infrastructure. In this role, you will shape detection capabilities through hands-on technical work and cross-functional influence, with direct impact on how the organization protects its most sensitive information.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify visibility gaps across infrastructure and partner with business teams to close them through improved logging and detection.
  • Design and write detections for data misuse and data exfiltration at scale.
  • Build automation and detection models that surface anomalous activity and speed up response.
  • Proactively hunt for insider threats across corporate and production environments.
  • Partner with engineering teams to develop advanced detection solutions, and work closely with Human Resources and Legal on complex investigations.
  • Recommend and help design countermeasures that reduce insider risk.
  • Take part in incident response and provide subject-matter expertise during insider threat incidents.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation that supports 24/7 detection and response coverage.
  • Contribute to security awareness messaging and training.

Qualifications

Required

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in security operations, such as detection engineering, threat hunting, incident response, digital forensics, or threat intelligence.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with insider threat technologies, such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA).
  • Exposure to data science and analytics approaches that apply to insider threat detection.
  • Experience automating security detection and response.
  • Solid understanding of how insider threat and incident response connect, including how to coordinate responses to insider incidents.
  • Working knowledge of insider threat challenges at consumer-facing companies.
  • Familiarity with the Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks and how they apply to insider threats.
  • Self-motivated, creative problem-solver who works well independently.
  • Stays calm and collaborative under pressure in time-sensitive situations.
  • Strong organization, prioritization, and multitasking skills.

Preferred

  • Experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, and RDS.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL.

Key Details

  • Start Date: November 17, 2026
  • Duration: 12 months
  • Location: Remote (within the U.S.)
  • Work Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week (Monday-Friday), plus participation in an on-call rotation
  • Pay Rate: Up to $120-$137/hour + benefits

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
