About the role

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

Snap Security teams protect the trust and safety of our global community by securing the systems and data that power Snapchat. We safeguard hundreds of millions of Snapchatters every day, ensuring that every product and service is built on a foundation of security and resilience. Our values guide everything we do - from how we anticipate and mitigate threats to how we collaborate across Snap. We move fast, with precision, and always execute with privacy at the forefront.

We are seeking a Threat Intelligence focused security engineer to join our Detection and Response (D&R) team, based in Sydney.

In this dynamic role, you will be instrumental in tracking sophisticated threat actors and engineering innovative security solutions. Collaborating with our global teams in the US and Switzerland, you will adopt a threat-informed engineering mindset. Your responsibilities will include identifying and neutralizing threats across our production environments, corporate infrastructure, and internal tools, as well as protecting against and responding to any suspicious activity across our digital infrastructure.

This isn’t your typical analyst position. We dedicate significant time to research, innovation, and development, ensuring Snap stays ahead of evolving adversaries. If you’re ready to make a tangible global impact by securing a platform that serves hundreds of millions of users worldwide, join us and help shape the future of security at Snap Inc.

- Research and innovate new detection and response capabilities, developing tools and automations to enhance threat hunting and incident response.

- Leverage AI and automation to build scalable, industry-leading intelligence and response systems.

- Design, pilot, and implement robust logging and alerting systems to detect and prevent malicious activity across Snap’s endpoints, infrastructure, networks, and cloud environments.
