## Description

We are looking for an Incident Responder with robust technical skills, expertise in threat analysis, and a solid background in incident management. As a Senior Incident Response Analyst you'll be watching over our corporate environment and cloud services, hunting for signs of compromise, safeguarding the data and systems belonging to Atlassian, as well as those of our Customers and Partners. More than that, you'll be leading security incidents, responding to security threats, developing and automating response strategies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance our security posture, and crushing security problems you care about.

Your day-to-day will include:

 * Act as an escalation point for security incidents, collaborating with stakeholders and communicating updates while actively working towards the resolution of incidents.
 * Investigate and analyze log data stemming from security events across multiple sources to identify signs of compromise, determine scope and assess potential impact.
 * Conduct post-incident reviews to analyze the root cause, assess the response, and recommend improvements.
 * Participate in the on-call roster for security incident response.
 * Deliver technical solutions to mitigate security incidents and enhance incident response capabilities.
 * Advocate for security best practices and secure coding standards across the organization.
 * Conduct threat hunts to identify new attack vectors and develop strategies to counteract them.
 * Research threat actor tactics, techniques and tooling and apply those insights to investigations, threat hunts and response capabilities.
 * Build and maintain tools and systems to automate response processes and improve efficiency.
 * Develop and maintain security incident response playbooks and standard operating procedures.
 * Lead evidence collection and forensic analysis during incidents.
 * Conduct tabletop exercises and simulations to test and improve incident response readiness.
