About the role

About the Position

We’re looking for an experienced incident responder and forensic investigator to join our Cybersecurity team. The ideal candidate would have real-world experience responding to externally driven cyber incidents, as well as investigating potential insider threat incidents.

Our Cybersecurity team is a skilled group of engineers, analysts, and specialists who are dedicated to keeping the firm safe. We think hard about our approach to security and have invested in custom protection and detection controls, investigation and incident response tooling, and developing a healthy and collaborative relationship with the rest of the firm.

We’re looking for a seasoned veteran investigator who approaches their work thoughtfully and thoroughly, and who can document and communicate the results effectively. They should be interested in contributing to our automation efforts and growing the abilities and readiness of the team as a whole.

About You

  • Experienced with responding to major cyber incidents in a primarily Windows environment; experience with a heavily mixed Linux/Windows environment is a plus
  • Has used forensic analysis to investigate potential breaches with supporting detail to determine attack vectors, the scope of the incident, and affected systems
  • Interested in automation
  • Has at least basic scripting abilities; it’s OK if you’re rusty, as long as you’re willing to shake it off with the support of the people around you
  • Medium or better coding skills are a plus
  • Able to document and communicate your work to an above-average-technical audience, without fluff and with properly communicated second-order knowledge
  • Intellectually curious and eager to learn; excited to grow your understanding of the environment around you, the work of your teammates, and our team goals
  • Reliable and flexible team player with a positive attitude
  • Mature and discreet
