About The Position

Daylight is a security services company delivering Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS), including MDR, threat hunting, security data lake, and more, through a fundamentally different architecture than traditional security services providers. Daylight's architecture combines an agentic platform that runs the full cycle from detection to response with security experts from IR and threat hunting backgrounds. The platform collects identity and business context across systems to investigate alerts and continuously learns your environment. Security experts validate decisions, feed insights into the platform, optimize detections, and take over in case of an incident. The result: security teams move from firefighting to strategic work. We're looking for a Talent Acquisition & HR Operations Partner to join our People team and support our growing US organization. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in building our U.S. hiring and People operations from the ground up. You'll partner closely with hiring managers, employees, external partners, and the global People team to drive recruiting efforts, support the employee experience, and help build scalable processes as the company grows. As the first dedicated People team member supporting our U.S. team, you'll have the opportunity to grow your scope and take on broader responsibilities over time.
