Senior Security Operations and Incident Response Analyst

The opportunity
Unity's Security Operations (SecOps) team adopts a unique approach to security monitoring and response. Instead of hiring traditional "Analysts" who primarily focus on triaging automated findings and adhering to runbooks, we seek individuals with the skills and ambition to take on greater responsibilities. Current team members in this role continually describe it as the most rewarding and fulfilling position they’ve ever held.

As a Security Operations and Incident Response Analyst based remotely on the U.S. East Coast or out of our New York office, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping and advancing our operations. You’ll frequently collaborate with Unity’s global security team and work closely with peers across our teams in EMEA / APAC and the U.S. We’ve thoughtfully designed our team structure and workflows to ensure no team member is ever left without support, resources, or guidance.

We are committed to fostering your professional growth. Together, we’ll develop and maintain a personalized career development plan, ensuring you’re consistently progressing and achieving your professional goals.

What you'll be doing

• Analyzing metrics, incident data, and new log sources to find opportunities for new alerts, and then writing those alerts
• Identifying ad hoc response procedures that can be routinized and then automated, and then authoring that automation
• Participating in investigations of possible security incidents, diving as deeply into the technical details as your knowledge and interest allows.
• Thinking at a strategic level that encompasses more than just technical and security concerns, and then applying that perspective to make risk assessments and drive incident response decisions
• Keeping informed about industry standard methodologies and trends in Security, Monitoring, Response, Threat Intel, and Forensics, and then making recommendations about products and procedures we should adopt.

What we're looking for

• Experience as a Security Analyst or similar role in a Security Operations Center.
• Experience writing detections/alerts, and/or automated or manual runbooks and experience with SIEM such as Elastic, Sumo, Splunk.
• Experience with one or more Cloud platforms is a must; GCP or Azure preferred.
• A desire to help craft the Security Operation Team's vision, culture, tool selection, methods and procedures
• A preference for working collaboratively, with a natural inclination to take pride in mentoring and helping others to succeed.

You might also have

• Experience with the Elastic stack, Sumo and/or XSOAR
• Experience with forensics and at least one forensics tool, such as Magnet
• Experience with Threat Intelligence and several Threat Intelligence feeds

Additional information

• Relocation support is not available for this position.
• Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position
