from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Files H-1B transfers
2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- You'll stay hands-on, coaching and growing the team while working in the detections, pipelines, and investigations yourself.
- Security operations: monitoring, triage, and incident response across our SaaS applications, user workstations, and AWS, including signals from insider risk.

Responsibilities
- You'll own detection and response for our environment: monitoring, triage, and incident response across our SaaS applications, user workstations, and AWS.

Requirements
- 7+ years in security operations, detection, or incident response.
- You can take a broad roadmap and prioritize independently, breaking the big picture into concrete, sequenced work for you and the team.
- Experience mentoring or leading engineers or analysts

- You write your own scripts and build detection logic as code.
- A track record of taking projects from prototype to production, including the architecture and the hands-on build.
- Depth in SIEM and SOAR
- we use Datadog Cloud SIEM, ingesting logs from across our platforms, including AWS.
- You can identify which KPIs apply where and set acceptable thresholds for each, across measures such as detection coverage, false-positive rate, MTTR, and automation rate.
Nice to have
- Certifications such as CISSP, the GIAC detection/IR family, or OSCP.
- Experience applying AI or LLMs to security work.
