Your work directly supports the company’s mission to strengthen its security posture in an evolving threat landscape.
• Day to day, you will independently triage and investigate security events and events of interest to determine root causes and mitigate potential incidents; update and maintain response playbooks using threat intelligence insights; conduct basic threat hunting using SIEM queries and EDR tools to identify emerging threats; participate in purple team exercises with blue and red teams to test and improve detection and response capabilities; collect and analyze threat intelligence from internal and external sources (including IOCs and TTPs) to refine detection rules; perform risk enumeration using scanning tools and threat intelligence to uncover vulnerabilities and misconfigurations; assist in training junior engineers on security tools, processes, and foundational purple teaming concepts; and document findings while contributing to formal reports on security events and threat intelligence activities.
• You will join SailPoint’s Cybersecurity organization, a dedicated and talented team committed to the company’s 4 I’s: Integrity, Individuals, Impact, and Innovation.

• In this role, you will develop deep expertise in SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms, refine your skills in threat hunting and malware analysis, gain hands-on experience in purple teaming and threat intelligence integration, and grow into a trusted contributor who drives process improvements, automation initiatives, and detection rule tuning—positioning you for long-term growth in cybersecurity operations and threat analysis.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 2–4 years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 1 year in a detection/response role such as SOC analyst or incident responder
• Proficiency in SIEM platforms, EDR tools, and basic scripting (e.g., Python, PowerShell) for automation and threat hunting
• Experience with purple teaming exercises and applying threat intelligence (IOCs, TTPs) to improve detection processes and response playbooks
• Strong understanding of attack vectors, malware analysis, network protocols, and common vulnerability patterns
• Required certifications such as CySA+, CEH, or equivalent demonstrating foundational cybersecurity competence
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams in a distributed environment
