Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

The Security Incident Response team works to analyze, investigate, and respond to threats before they impact Stripe’s business or users. From external attacks to insider threats, our goal is to respond with speed and precision, remediate, and support the incident postmortem process. The team is distributed, working across North America, Europe, and Asia, and will regularly coordinate with stakeholders in different time zones.

What you’ll do

You will be leveraging your security incident response experience to analyze and respond to security notifications, events, and inquiries. You will be performing initial triage of potential security incidents through log and data analysis to determine whether or not activity is a substantiated or valid threat, assessing severity and potential impact, taking pre-approved remediation measures to contain a threat, and escalating findings to investigators for further review and analysis. You will use your knowledge of cyber threats and the results of your analysis to coordinate with partner teams to improve threat detection through tuning and creation of new use cases, to improve capabilities through enriching existing data and creation of new data feeds, and to improve triage accuracy, consistency and timeliness through automation. This role plays a critical part in threat detection and response, ultimately reducing the likelihood of security breaches and protecting sensitive company information.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and investigate activity on company devices and cloud infrastructure that could represent a security threat
• Work cross-functionally with the Security teams to develop solutions for analyzing security events at scale and protecting Stripe networks, systems, and data
• Interpret disparate data sources to report on trends and support investigative requests
• Collect requirements for enhancements to detection models and response systems
• Leverage existing systems and data to perform analyses and promote process improvements 
• Provide actionable insights to help identify, prevent, detect, and respond to anomalous or potentially malicious user activity
• Collaborate effectively with teammates, lead projects, mentor others, and develop and champion quality operational standards across the team

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years experience in information technology or cyber security roles including incident response
• 2+ years experience analyzing large data sets to solve problems and/or manage projects related to security event triage and/or workplace investigations
• Prior experience investigating and triaging security threats on endpoint devices including Mac, Linux, and Windows, as well as cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• B.S. or M.S. in Cyber Security and Information Assurance, Data Analytics, Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
• Working knowledge of SQL 
• Basic knowledge of scripting or programming in Python, Go, or other programming languages
• Proven experience with log querying and analysis (e.g. first or third party applications, system / data access, event logs), digital forensics, or incident response using one or more industry standard SIEM Platforms (Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, Elastic, etc.)
• Proficiency using analytical methods to inform detection systems or guide strategic response
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and written/verbal communication skills 
• Ability to think creatively and holistically about identifying and reducing risk in a complex environment
• High level of judgment, objectivity, and discretion 

Preferred qualifications

• Prior experience working with high volume data in a security incident response environment
• Experience with data processing and analysis tools (e.g. Jupyter Notebooks, Databricks)
• An adversarial mindset, understanding the goals, behaviors, and TTPs of threat actors
• Ability to leverage threat intelligence and/or hunting concepts in an enterprise environment
• Experience in one or more of the following areas: user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), SOAR/security automation, security information event management (SIEM), data loss prevention (DLP), Information Security, or Data Privacy

About the role

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
