What We Believe In

Challenges You Will Solve

The Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) continues to push the boundaries of threat detection and response with a unique combination of operations, threat research, and engineering in tight integration with the development team that designs our analysis platform and the Red Canary Threat Detection Engine.


The security landscape is always shifting and introducing new adversaries. The Red Canary CIRT operates 24/7 to track down threats using the entirety of our customer’s data and deliver fast and practical detections to our customers.


This is not a role where you are encouraged to passively accept the current state. At Red Canary, you are empowered to actively look for opportunities to automate repetitive and tedious tasks. We let the automation framework handle the mundane tasks, so that you can remain focused on solving complex and critical problems for our customers.

What You'll Do

  • Use Red Canary’s detection platform to analyze EDR telemetry, alerts, and log sources across several detection domains (Endpoint, Identity, SIEM, Cloud/SaaS, etc.) to uncover threats and tell the story of what occurred in a customer environment.
  • Publish threats for customers using concisely-written communication while effectively conveying key and important indicators
  • Detector Development: Research coverage opportunities then create new detectors, and tune existing ones.
  • Improve the CIRT workflow through orchestration & automation
  • Provide mentorship to your peers and communicate effectively with others for efficient cross-team collaboration
  • Leverage previous SOC experience to enhance the CIRT’s knowledge-base and expertise
  • Actively engage with the CIRT team to challenge the status quo for detecting adversarial behavior
  • Help lead projects to improve the quality of life for both the customer and the CIRT

What You'll Bring

  • Analysis experience and proficiency in Endpoint (MDR) and one or more of the following functional areas: Cloud/SaaS, Identity, Email, SIEM
  • Proven experience with automation and orchestration to effectively handle an extreme volume of telemetry and logs in a timely and efficient manner
  • Strong written communication skills, and abilities to work in a team-centric environment
  • Strong analytical thought-process and critical thinking skills to translate disparate activity into the realm of threat analysis
  • Open-source intelligence research skills used in a fast-paced operational environment, and the ability to apply those findings within the analytical workflow to identify threats
  • Experience leveraging Mitre ATT&CK framework, and familiarity with other alternative attack frameworks and threat models
  • Familiarity with backend data structures used for security analysis (JSON, YAML, etc.)
  • Experience using query languages and understanding syntax across EDR or other security platforms (SQL, K, Lucene, etc.)
  • Experience creating and tuning detectors/rules using commonly known tools such as YARA, SIGMA, Snort, Splunk, Elastic, etc.

Bonus Points

  • You enjoy impacting the Infosec community through writing blogs, participating in webinars, and presenting at conference talks
  • Experience using version control software for the deployment of detectors, rules, or other automations (GitHub, CircleCi, etc)
  • Previous Red Team experience

Targeted base salary range: $115,360 - $126,500. This role is eligible for participation in the company's bonus program. This role is also eligible for a grant of stock options, subject to the approval of the company's board of directors.


**this position will be supporting a 8am to 4pm MT shift, Monday - Friday.
