Remote, Australia
Our take: The real work here is owning security incidents end to end and then turning each one into better automation, detection, and playbooks so the team responds faster next time.
If you come alive when the alert fires and the room turns to you, this is your seat. You will own security incidents from first signal through recovery, then turn what you learned into automation, playbooks, and sharper detection so the next incident is easier. It is high-tempo, on-call, and genuinely consequential, and you get to make the whole team calmer and better each time around.
