What You Will Do [Responsibilities]

  1. Identify and develop a deep understanding of cyberthreats facing cloud-enabled organizations to shape the product direction and research focus of the team
  2. Apply your expert insights and experience to research, develop, and classify new threats, detection capabilities, and related mitigation techniques
  3. Collaborate across Vectra to develop new detection models – working hand-in-hand with members of the data science and engineering teams
  4. Pursue security research topics that contribute to the knowledge about and enumeration of new threats
  5. Provide an attackers-eye-view to the evidence presented by Vectra products and educate customers to the technical nature of the threat

What You Will Need [Requirements]

  1. You are a subject matter expert on AWS, GCP, Azure, or Cloud Identity Service Providers with a deep understanding of the threat models and attacker methodologies within these environments
  2. 5+ years direct experience in areas of security research, malware analysis, or cloud security architecture/development/analysis
  3. Deep understanding of cloud systems and security concepts for SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, including their respective threat models, risks and attacker methodologies
  4. 5+ years of attack and penetration testing experience; or 5+ years of incident response and threat analysis experience
  5. Knowledge of exploitation techniques
  6. Knowledge of network and application protocols, and traffic analysis (network forensics)
  7. Proficiency with network traffic analysis and network forensics tools such as Wireshark and tcpdump
  8. Knowledge of corporate security investigation and incident response processes, along with threat detection and mitigation technologies
  9. Solid programming skills with scripting languages such as Python and query languages like KQL/SQL/Presto

What Will Help You [Expectations]
