About the role

Own endpoint detection and cloud security at a fully cloud-based company. Tune out the noise, lock down AWS, and build security champions across Kin. 5+ years.

Responsibilities

  • Own and tune our EDR/MDR stack, building the detection policies, runbooks, and automation that keep escalations focused on real threats
  • Lead incident response end to end: investigation, containment, and remediation, from compromised laptops to cloud and identity incidents
  • Own endpoint security across managed and BYOD devices, setting device posture standards, hardening baselines, and the policies that govern what can access Kin data
  • Define the security requirements behind our identity program and partner with IT to implement them in SSO, shaping our RBAC model and driving an access review cadence that removes stale permissions
  • Build and remediate security controls across AWS infrastructure, Google Workspace, identity, and data protection
  • Serve as the front door for security across Kin, turning around security tickets and questions quickly enough that people bring you things early instead of working around the process
  • Conduct threat modeling across systems, processes, and vendor implementations, delivering risk assessments teams can act on
  • Instill a culture of security across the company, taking everyday opportunities to educate Kinfolk, raise awareness of real risks, and give people in every function the judgment to make safer decisions on their own

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in security operations, detection and response, or security engineering
  • Hands-on experience running a modern EDR program: building and tuning detection logic, writing response runbooks, and leading investigations through to containment
  • Endpoint security experience across managed and BYOD fleets, including device posture, hardening baselines, and MDM
  • Identity and access management depth: defining access control requirements, designing RBAC models, and running access reviews in an SSO environment
  • AWS security experience across IAM, network controls, logging, and configuration management, with a track record of remediating findings directly
  • Comfort working in infrastructure-as-code environments and automating security tasks
  • Threat modeling experience across systems, processes, or vendor implementations
