We act as a trusted partner and an extension of our customers’ security teams to help them to understand and mature their overall security programs. When threats are detected in customer environments, we help by taking ownership of the customer's success and providing any resources they need to remediate and recover.

  • Augment the automated detection of Red Canary’s technical stack with human driven hunting, to identify anomalous behaviors within customer environments, and use your hunting results to drive innovation of Red Canary’s detection capabilities
  • Proactively mentor other Threat Hunters by sharing knowledge, skills and experiences and helping them to grow and develop their own skills

What You'll Bring

  • 6+ years of working in the cyber security industry
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly convey complex technical topics and findings to others
  • Ability to successfully engage within high-pressure environments and build trust with customers
  • Technical proficiency in Information Security controls including system-level controls, network controls, and security operations, across Endpoint, Cloud, SaaS, and Identity
  • Advanced knowledge of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities and one or more EDR products
  • Foundational knowledge of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) processes
  • Ability to independently investigate and analyze alerts and threats for anomalous, suspicious, or malicious activity in a corporate environment and support remediation efforts
  • Ability to independently and proactively search for potential cyber threats, including developing search criteria
  • Desire to mentor others as they advance their technical skills

An Insider's view of Red Canary

What's something quirky about your company?

On a quarterly basis, we have a companywide gathering that we affectionately call BEASTMODE. It’s a great opportunity for “Canaries” from across the country to come together, level-set on the state of the business, get to know each other better, and build a close knit community trying to make a positive impact on the world.

What projects are you most excited about?

The Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) reached the milestone of 10,000 spec/unit tests to validate our detection logic, an indicator of how diligently we maintain our detectors. Continued validation that everything is working as anticipated is key to ensuring a successful security program.
