Original Job Description
Guarding the Identity Frontier
As a lead in the IAM Protect division, you will be a primary defender of the systems that manage access for billions of users. This isn’t just about watching a dashboard; you’ll be hunting for sophisticated threats like credential misuse and tenant bypasses. You will turn complex security signals into automated, durable defenses that prevent attackers from gaining a foothold in the cloud.
Modern SecOps with AI Agents
This role is built for the modern engineer who prefers orchestrating agents over manual line-by-line coding. While the stack includes Python, KQL, and SQL, the team specifically values the ability to use vibe-coding techniques and agent management to scale security operations. Your goal is to build intelligent systems that can identify anomalies and mitigate risks with high-speed, AI-driven precision.
