- • Ramp is at the forefront of revolutionizing modern finance operations, leveraging the power of AI to redefine how businesses manage their financial workflows. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Detection Engineer to join our dynamic security team and play a pivotal role in enhancing our security posture, with a particular emphasis on maturing our detection and alerting capabilities across our federal and public sector environments.
- • In this critical role, you will be instrumental in safeguarding Ramp's assets and data by proactively identifying, analyzing, and responding to security threats. You will contribute to the development and refinement of our security infrastructure, ensuring robust protection against evolving cyber risks.
- • A key responsibility will involve responding to and assisting with security requests and incidents submitted by Ramp team members. This requires a keen eye for detail, a methodical approach to problem-solving, and the ability to act swiftly and effectively under pressure.
- • You will be tasked with meticulously reviewing logging, alerting, and audit sources to identify potential security incidents. This involves deep dives into system logs, network traffic, and application events to detect anomalous activities that may indicate a compromise or policy violation.
- • Following the identification of potential incidents, you will perform initial triage, assessing the severity and scope of the threat. This critical step ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and that the most urgent issues are addressed first.
- • A significant part of your contribution will be in the creation, upkeep, and tuning of runbooks and security alerts. These documents and configurations are essential for standardizing incident response procedures, ensuring consistency, and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of our alerting mechanisms.
- • You will collaborate closely with the broader Ramp Security Engineering team to enhance security alerting and implement automated remediation strategies. This collaborative effort aims to reduce manual intervention, accelerate response times, and minimize the impact of security incidents.
- • The role involves extensive utilization of our log ingestion platform for advanced security analytics. You will leverage this platform to identify sophisticated tactics, techniques, and patterns employed by attackers, thereby strengthening our defenses against advanced persistent threats.
- • Furthermore, you will be responsible for designing and implementing automation solutions to detect and respond to threats more efficiently. This proactive approach to security automation is crucial for staying ahead of adversaries and maintaining a strong security posture.
- • This position requires a strong understanding of information security principles, incident response methodologies, and threat intelligence. You will be expected to stay abreast of the latest security trends, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors to ensure our defenses remain cutting-edge.
- • The ideal candidate will possess excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to think critically and apply logical reasoning to complex security challenges.
- • Effective communication is paramount. You will need to articulate complex security issues to both technical peers and non-technical management in a clear, concise, and actionable manner.
- • Strong written communication skills are also essential for documenting technical details, incident reports, and process improvements with precision and clarity.
- • This role offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the security of a rapidly growing fintech company, particularly within the sensitive federal and public sector domains. You will be part of a team dedicated to building trust and ensuring the integrity of Ramp's financial operations.
- • Please note that this role requires a commitment to working in-person at our NYC HQ (located near Madison Square Park) at least 2 days per week, fostering collaboration and team synergy.
