• You will devise new ways to detect and respond to attacks.
• You will design and implement strategies to continually improve the speed, efficacy, and safety of threat detection and containment.

About you:

• Demonstrated interest in computer security.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.

Bonus points:

• Experience with AWS, Python, and/or Go.
