Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Rapid7 Full time

As a key member of Rapid7's Detection & Response Services team, you will play a vital role in helping organizations respond to and mitigate cyber threats.

About the Team

Rapid7's team offers the opportunity to work on real-world incident response cases, uncovering previously unidentified breaches and simulating full-scale incidents with clients. Our Incident Responders pride themselves on their critical thinking skills, adaptability, and ability to deliver top-notch services.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced security professionals to join our team as Incident Responders. You will split your time between reactive breach response cases, supporting customers in their time of need, and proactive customer engagements, delivering threat hunting and detection exercises with internal security teams.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and support incident response engagements, from detection and containment through forensic analysis and remediation, while partnering with Incident Responders, MDR Analysts, and Customer Advisors
  • Support proactive incident response service engagements, including compromise assessments and incident simulations
  • Utilize Rapid7 technologies like InsightIDR and Velociraptor to deliver positive customer outcomes
  • Deliver verbal and written updates and forensic reports to customers
  • Assist in capturing and deploying knowledge of latest attacker methodologies with members of our Managed Threat Operations team and as part of Rapid7's Emergent Threat Response program
  • Collaborate with peers and cross-team partners on process enhancements and documentation
  • Participate in pre-sales conversations with prospective customers, Sales enablement sessions, webinars, and other business development opportunities
  • Advise and mentor members of our MDR SOC and Managed Threat Operations teams
  • Participate in an on-call rotation (after-hours/weekend), as required, to address incidents and maintain continuous coverage

The estimated salary range for this position is $120,000 - $180,000 per year, depending on location and experience. We offer a competitive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, and generous PTO policies.

Required Skills and Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • 1-2 years of hands-on, technical incident response experience
  • 2-3 years of security analyst experience, preferably in a SOC or MSSP setting
  • Strong technical experience in three of the five areas below: Forensics (Windows / Mac / Linux), Network traffic analysis, Log Review, Malware triage, Cloud technologies, including AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, in particular the ability to effectively communicate investigation findings and associated mitigation and remediation actions to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Strong time management and prioritization skills in fast-paced situations
  • Desire to continuously learn and grow from your peers and on-the-job experiences, with a willingness to share your knowledge
  • Relevant industry certifications, such as GCIA, GCIH, GDAT, GCFE, and GFCA

Benefits

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, and generous PTO policies.
