When you join SentinelOne, your work helps protect global enterprises, critical infrastructure, and the technologies shaping tomorrow. If you are motivated by meaningful challenges and want your impact to be real, measurable, and global, you will find purpose here.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include

• Conduct EDR-driven incident response and vendor-agnostic forensic analysis spanning endpoint, network, cloud, and SaaS environments, including ransomware, business email compromise, identity compromise, and other common incident types.
• Acquire and preserve forensic evidence from endpoint, network, and cloud sources following standard chain-of-custody procedures; support case intake by gathering initial technical details to assess scope.
• Support malware and memory analysis tasks under the guidance of senior team members.
• Support incident containment actions and prepare security hardening recommendations; maintain thorough case documentation throughout each investigation.
• Contribute to customer-facing status updates and formal investigative reports, distilling complex technical findings for stakeholders.
• Follow standard operating procedures and escalate technical or logistical questions to the assigned Technical Lead or Engagement Manager as needed.
• Maintain awareness of emerging threats, attacker techniques, and evolving cybersecurity trends; contribute observed attacker techniques and indicators to the team's shared knowledge base.
• Be responsive to high-pressure triage and analysis during large-scale cybersecurity incidents, maintaining composure; participate in a rotating on-call schedule for weekends and holidays.
• Support handovers of investigations across regions as needed.

Requirements

We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

Ideal candidates will have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Digital Forensics, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical self-study.
• 2 or more years of hands-on experience in digital forensics, incident response, or threat hunting, ideally in a consulting or services delivery environment.
• Comfort analyzing Windows environments and forensic artifacts; foundational understanding of forensic methodologies, evidence handling, acquisition techniques, and chain-of-custody procedures.
• Experience with forensic tools such as X-Ways Forensics, Axiom, and FTK.
• Experience with EDR/XDR platforms (SentinelOne preferred) and SIEMs.
• Working knowledge of network protocols and network-based forensic analysis; scripting and automation capabilities.
• Strong verbal and written communication—comfortable documenting and presenting technical findings clearly and precisely.
• Ability to perform technical investigations under pressure in high-stakes, time-sensitive situations, while maintaining composure; an evident self-starter with intellectual curiosity and the ability to adapt to change.
