About the team

What you’ll do

You will be leveraging your security operations experience to analyze and respond to security notifications, events, and inquiries. You will be performing initial triage of potential security incidents through log and data analysis to determine whether or not activity is a substantiated or valid threat, assessing severity and potential impact, taking pre-approved remediation measures to contain a threat, and escalating findings to investigators for further review and analysis. You will use your knowledge of cyber threats and the results of your analysis to coordinate with partner teams to improve threat detection through tuning and creation of new use cases, to improve capabilities through enriching existing data and creation of new data feeds, and to improve triage accuracy, consistency and timeliness through automation. This role plays a critical part in threat detection and response, ultimately reducing the likelihood of security breaches and protecting sensitive company information.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and investigate activity on company devices that could represent a security threat
  
• Work cross-functionally with the Security teams to develop solutions for analyzing security events at scale and protecting Stripe networks, systems, and data
