As a Staff Security Engineer on Security Incident Response, you'll serve as a senior technical leader and builder for the team, helping shape both how we respond to incidents today and how our response capabilities evolve over time.This role is about advancing what the team is capable of, not just responding when something breaks. You'll design and build the AI-assisted systems that extend the team's reach, lead the response to the most complex incidents, and own programs that make the organization more prepared over time, from tabletop exercises and gamedays to the continued advancement of threat hunting and insider risk capabilities. You bring engineering depth, sound incident judgment, and the ability to plan, and deliver complex work against a longer-term maturity roadmap not just execute against a queue.

How you'll work: • You look for opportunities to build systems that scale the team's capabilities rather than relying on repeated manual effort, and you're interested in thoughtfully applying AI and automation where they can improve security outcomes. • An experienced incident commander who brings structure to complex incidents, makes sound decisions with incomplete information, and helps teams move forward during high-pressure situations. • You're comfortable taking ownership of a capability from strategy through execution, including defining priorities, sequencing work, navigating dependencies, and delivering against a longer-term roadmap. • You can operate as a technical partner to leaders and cross-functional teams, independently representing technical priorities, risks, and tradeoffs. • You value continuous improvement and contribute to an environment where teams can examine incidents, decisions, and failures openly and turn what they learn into stronger systems and practices. What you can expect: • Serve as incident manager and technical escalation point for complex, high-severity events, bringing structure, sound judgement, and clear decision-making under pressure. • Design and build AI-assisted and automated systems that improve how quickly and consistently the team can triage, investigate, and contain incidents. • Establish appropriate safety controls, approval gates, auditability, and rollback mechanisms for automated and AI-assisted actions, ensuring high-impact decisions remain appropriately human-controlled. • Own the team's readiness programs, including tabletop exercises and incident gamedays, from scenario design and execution through debriefing and translating finishes into concrete (or measurable) improvements • Advance the team's threat hunting and insider risk capabilities by identifying opportunities, defining priorities, and delivering roadmap work that improves investigative depth and coverage • Plan, sequence, and deliver multi-quarter initiatives that mature the team's capabilities, bringing project management discipline to work that doesn't fit neatly into a sprint. • Mentor and provide technical leadership to other engineers, strengthening engineering rigor and investigative judgement across the team. • Partner with Security Operations, Product Security, and Engineering teams to close gaps surfaced through investigations, hunting, and simulations. • Foster psychological safety and blameless learning across incident retrospectives, gamedays, and tabletop debriefs. • Extend strong incident response practices beyond the immediate team by building reusable systems, tooling, and operating patterns that strengthen response capabilities across areas such as PSIRT, Privacy, and Engineering.

What we're looking for: • Significant experience leading complex, high-severity security incidents across multiple environments, including serving as an incident commander or equivalent technical lead. • Experience designing and building AI-assisted or agentic automation for security operations (triage, investigation, containment), with sound judgment about where automation should and shouldn't hold decision authority. • Strong software engineering skills, and experience building production tooling, automation, or systems rather than only operating existing security platforms. • Experience owning a security program or capability roadmap end to end, including planning, sequencing, and delivering multi-quarter work. • Strong understanding of cloud-native, SaaS, and identity-driven attack techniques and response approaches. • Experience designing and running tabletop exercises, gamedays, or comparable readiness programs and translating findings into improvements.. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to represent technical tradeoffs to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. • Experience mentoring engineers or otherwise raising the technical and investigative capabilities of a team. How you'll work: • You look for opportunities to build systems that scale the team's capabilities rather than relying on repeated manual effort, and you're interested in thoughtfully applying AI and automation where they can improve security outcomes. • An experienced incident commander who brings structure to complex incidents, makes sound decisions with incomplete information, and helps teams move forward during high-pressure situations. • You're comfortable taking ownership of a capability from strategy through execution, including defining priorities, sequencing work, navigating dependencies, and delivering against a longer-term roadmap. • You can operate as a technical partner to leaders and cross-functional teams, independently representing technical priorities, risks, and tradeoffs. • You value continuous improvement and contribute to an environment where teams can examine incidents, decisions, and failures openly and turn what they learn into stronger systems and practices. What you can expect: • Serve as incident manager and technical escalation point for complex, high-severity events, bringing structure, sound judgement, and clear decision-making under pressure. • Design and build AI-assisted and automated systems that improve how quickly and consistently the team can triage, investigate, and contain incidents. • Establish appropriate safety controls, approval gates, auditability, and rollback mechanisms for automated and AI-assisted actions, ensuring high-impact decisions remain appropriately human-controlled. • Own the team's readiness programs, including tabletop exercises and incident gamedays, from scenario design and execution through debriefing and translating finishes into concrete (or measurable) improvements • Advance the team's threat hunting and insider risk capabilities by identifying opportunities, defining priorities, and delivering roadmap work that improves investigative depth and coverage • Plan, sequence, and deliver multi-quarter initiatives that mature the team's capabilities, bringing project management discipline to work that doesn't fit neatly into a sprint. • Mentor and provide technical leadership to other engineers, strengthening engineering rigor and investigative judgement across the team. • Partner with Security Operations, Product Security, and Engineering teams to close gaps surfaced through investigations, hunting, and simulations. • Foster psychological safety and blameless learning across incident retrospectives, gamedays, and tabletop debriefs. • Extend strong incident response practices beyond the immediate team by building reusable systems, tooling, and operating patterns that strengthen response capabilities across areas such as PSIRT, Privacy, and Engineering.
