Preferred locations are Ireland (Dublin, Kilkenny, or remote), Poland (Krakow), or the United States (MA, or remote in EST or CST timezones).
Responsibilities:
* Ensure the security of State Street by delivering exceptional detection and response capabilities in public cloud environments.
* Design and implement incident response capabilities for cloud, including support for triage, investigation, evidence collection, containment, and remediation.
* Deliver tactical capability enhancements, partnering with internal engineering teams and vendors on large-scale capability development.
* Plan and lead tabletop exercises and hands-on response simulations to assess and develop response capabilities.
* Deliver customized training and awareness programs to key operational teams on incident response techniques for relevant cloud platforms.
* Represent Security Operations on strategic cloud projects, providing input and assistance around incident readiness, incident response, and other operational security concerns.
What we value:
* Deep expertise in cloud security, specifically infrastructure platforms such as AWS and Azure, and common enterprise SaaS applications.
* Exposure to security incident response, specifically incidents involving cloud infrastructure and SaaS applications.
* Experience with cloud native security capabilities and features (e.g., GuardDuty, Sentinel, CloudTrail), common enterprise security tools (SIEM, EDR), and cloud-specific security tools (e.g., CSPM).
* Experience developing and deploying tools and capabilities that enable threat detection or response.
* Significant experience securing AWS, and preferably at least one other cloud infrastructure platform.
* Strong foundational security knowledge, with specific expertise in threat detection, incident response, threat hunting, or similar.
* Understanding of current security threats and challenges, as well as frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
* Familiarity with common enterprise security tools, specifically SIEM, EDR, and NSM tools.
* Experience with scripting, system integration, and light development (e.g., Python, PowerShell, other scripting).
* Experience managing technology projects including solution design, deployment, and enhancement.
* Exceptional communication and presentation skills (verbal and written), a collaborative approach, and the ability to influence and build partnerships with diverse stakeholders.
* A track record of succeeding in distributed, international teams.
Education & Preferred Qualifications:
* 7+ years of relevant security experience.
* Direct experience securing cloud infrastructure in AWS, and preferably hands-on experience of cloud incident response.
* Strong experience with cloud infrastructure is essential (either AWS or Azure).
* Experience planning and executing tabletop exercises and response simulations is beneficial.
* Experience developing and delivering technical training is beneficial.
* A degree is not required, but a qualification in information security or information systems may be beneficial.
* Relevant cloud security or IR certifications (e.g., CSA CCSK, GIAC GCFR / GCIH / GCFA) are beneficial, as are certifications from AWS, Microsoft, or other key cloud providers.
Additional Requirements:
* This role may be filled in Ireland (Dublin or Kilkenny preferred, or remote), Poland (Krakow), or the United States (MA preferred, or remote in EST or CST timezones).
