About the Role
~1 min readWe're hiring a hands-on Security Analyst to own the day-to-day of our security program across endpoints, cloud, and identity. You'll monitor, investigate, and respond to threats while serving as the first point of contact for employees with security questions. This role has real ownership. You'll operate within established guidelines with appropriate oversight, but the day-to-day security operations are yours to run. We're looking for someone who takes that seriously, someone who can distinguish signal from noise, escalate when it counts, and handle their domain with consistency and care. We're a technical team that moves fast and expects its people to keep up. We want someone who is genuinely curious about how things work, stays current without being told to, and brings ideas rather than waiting for them.
