In this role, you will write code to automate compliance checks, manage our endpoint defense tools, hunt for phishing sites, and work directly with our financial crimes team to stop insider threats.

• Collaboration Skills: Ability to work clearly and effectively with non-technical teams, specifically when coordinating on fraud and insider threat investigations.
• Phishing Mitigation: Familiarity with brand protection or anti-phishing vendor platforms to find and report malicious domains.

Responsibilities

• Automate Security Checks: Write and maintain Python scripts that automatically check if our security tools are installed and working properly on all company systems.

• Manage EDR: Oversee and configure our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform to monitor and defend all company laptops, desktops, and servers.

• Stop Insider Threats: Partner directly with our financial crimes team to design, implement, and monitor safeguards against internal fraud and data theft.
