What Makes You Stand Out

You are a systems-savvy problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and brings hands-on experience restoring compromised systems and implementing remediation strategies. You've worked in roles like IT Engineer, System Administrator, or Cybersecurity Consultant, and now want to apply those skills in a high-stakes, incident response setting.

• Apply foundational knowledge to investigate and address malware infections, unauthorized access, and system integrity issues
• Implement endpoint protection and access control tools under supervision from senior R&R team members
• Document all actions taken in a clear, structured format, capturing technical findings, decisions made, and lessons learned
• Participate in after-hours (on-call/weekend rotational) support when needed to ensure 24/7 incident response coverage

Your Expertise

• Bachelor's degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or equivalent experience in technical support or IT administration roles
• Foundational knowledge of Windows, Linux, and MacOS environments and their security features
• Experience with firewalls, VPNs, Active Directory, Group Policy, Exchange, and common endpoint security tools
• Understanding of cyber incident impact, attacker techniques, and indicators of compromise (IOCs)
• Strong technical troubleshooting skills and a proactive, team-first attitude
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to manage competing tasks, adapt quickly to changing scenarios, and contribute in high-pressure situations

Expertise in all these areas is not required , but you should be excited by the opportunity to learn new things and comfortable with working with other team members to expand your knowledge base and experience .
