Apply for this role

Role description

Role Overview

As a Principal Incident Responder, you will lead incident response end to end across corporate, cloud, and data center environments, from detection and containment through eradication and post-incident review. You will build detection logic, response playbooks, and forensic tooling for an environment where the assets under threat are the most targeted model weights in technology. You will run investigations across a threat surface measured in gigawatts, correlating signals from cloud, endpoint, network, and physical systems into a single picture of an attack.

What You Will Do

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include leading major security incidents from first alert to resolution, making containment calls under pressure with the business watching. You will build detection logic and response playbooks that caught real intrusions, not just theoretical ones. You will write incident reports and postmortems clear enough that both engineers and executives act on them.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We are looking for someone who has personally led major security incidents, built detection logic and response playbooks, and run digital forensics across cloud, endpoint, and network evidence. You will be a good fit if you have experience defending high-value targets such as AI labs, financial infrastructure, or critical infrastructure against nation-state threat models.

Requirements

  • Personal experience leading major security incidents
  • Experience building detection logic and response playbooks
  • Experience running digital forensics across cloud, endpoint, and network evidence
  • Experience standing up or substantially rebuilding an incident response program
  • Experience hunting for threats proactively and finding activity that existing tooling missed
  • Experience writing incident reports and postmortems clear enough for both engineers and executives to act on

Benefits

  • Pay equity
  • Transparency
  • Equal Employment Opportunity Employer
  • Consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and protected veterans' status
