Description

We are looking for a curious, hands-on security professional to join our Detection & Response team as an Incident Response Developer. You'll report to the Manager of Detection & Response and work closely with senior responders to investigate security incidents, improve our response processes, and build automation that helps us scale.

Responsibilities:

  • Strengthen our incident response capabilities by building relationships with Engineering teams, writing new playbooks, and automating manual steps.
  • Own investigations from start to finish: triage, evidence collection, analysis, containment, and documentation.
  • Act as Incident Commander for low- and medium-severity incidents, and support senior responders on high-severity ones.
  • Turn recurring incident types into repeatable workflows, from design to tooling.
  • Report incident trends and metrics that inform team priorities.
  • Work with Security Engineers to monitor, refine, and expand our SIEM and SOAR platforms.
  • Collaborate with HR, Fraud, and Privacy teams on investigations into potentially fraudulent and sensitive activity.
  • Participate in on-call rotation for responding to security incidents.
  • Develop new detection rules with the detection engineering team.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in cybersecurity.
  • 1-2+ years of hands-on incident response experience.
  • Ability to coordinate responders and stakeholders during an incident.
  • Experience using a SIEM to turn noise into signal.
  • Proficiency with AI coding tools.
  • Workflow mindset.
  • Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
  • Discretion and sound judgment when handling sensitive information.
  • Clear communication with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Good judgment under pressure.
  • Strong desire to learn from the team.

Benefits:

  • Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
  • Long-term group savings with employer match
  • 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year
  • 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year
  • Employee resource groups
