The TeamAfterpay’s mission is to be the world’s favourite way to pay. It’s our security team’s job to ensure that we’re also the world’s most trusted way to pay.
To do that, we’re building and maintaining:• A company-wide culture that values information security• An effective information security program• A talented security team
We are strong believers that the security team should not be the team of NOPE - instead, we believe that our job is to understand our partner’s goals and to work with them to achieve those goals.
We believe that we can only achieve all of this by making Afterpay a great place for talented information security professionals to work. Our team values are:• Partnership - we understand the business and technical priorities and work to support them. We link our initiatives to the needs of the business• Respect - we aim to build respect with every interaction by being subject matter experts, by communicating clearly and by being human. We also work to develop one another as security professionals with the understanding that we’re better when we work as a team • Empathy - we know that people have competing priorities and we try to put ourselves in their shoes• Pragmatism - we make sure that we’re making reasonable recommendations and that we’re not being overly dogmatic• Measurability - we think about how we’ll measure the effect of our actions before we take them. We focus on measuring our work so we can show the impact we’re having and so we can continually improve
We are looking for passionate colleagues to join the rocketship and help us!
The Opportunity As Afterpay’s Senior Detection and Response Engineer, you’ll be responsible for:• Knowing who our adversaries are and their favored techniques• Ensuring that we can detect those adversaries and techniques• Designing and drilling an effective response to those techniques
To do this they need not only to respond to alerts but also to design, implement and manage the systems that create those alerts. It also means practicing our responses by training with our business stakeholders.
We’re big believers that the best way to scale a detection and response function is to focus on automation and on aligning the incentives of the people on the team. We aren’t a company that will measure the efficacy of our detection function based on the number of alerts they fire in a day - instead we want to focus on building controls that give us the best chance of detecting adversaries in ways that are unlikely to lead to false alarm
