About the role
- When security fails at most companies, systems go down.
- At an identity verification company, real people's identities are compromised.
- This is an enterprise security role embedded in a generalist security team.
Responsibilities
- Persona builds identity verification infrastructure where security isn't a layer we add later, it's core to everything we ship.
- You'll work alongside experienced security engineers to defend Persona's people, devices, and systems against evolving threats - and build the tooling and automation that lets us do it at scale.
- Develop, tune, and operate endpoint detection and response (EDR) rules and tooling across our macOS environment
- Build and operate insider threat detection and response programs
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in IT security, corporate/enterprise security, or a related technical role.
- We'll flex on years of experience and specific tool background for candidates who demonstrate strong fundamentals, high aptitude, and a track record of figuring things out fast
- Hands-on experience with macOS endpoints, MDM platforms, and EDR tooling
- Experience with DLP concepts and insider threat scenarios
- Experience with email security fundamentals and social engineering defense
- Ability to write scripts and automate workflows in Python, Ruby, Bash, or similar
- Experience with endpoint hardening.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with identity and access management tooling (Okta, SCIM provisioning, SSO)
- Experience with Zero Trust or network access tools (Twingate, Cloudflare Access, or similar)
- Exposure to SIEM platforms, log aggregation, or detection engineering
- Familiarity with SaaS security posture management (SSPM) or CASB concepts
- You've worked somewhere where PII or sensitive data was the core product
