Qualtrics has grown exponentially and that growth means constantly finding and eradicating threats to our systems. We must continuously evaluate how we secure systems, identify potential threats, and implement alerts and tooling necessary that will help us maintain a strong security posture at scale. We are looking for an engineer to join our security operations center who can work with others across the organization, react to alerts, hunt for threats, respond to incidents, and implement technical solutions that improve our ability to identify, stop, and eradicate potential threats.
Expectations for Success
You are currently enrolled in a Computer Science, Information Technology, or similar undergraduate or graduate program with an interest and/or focus on security and have 2 years left in your undergraduate or plan to do a Masters following completion of your undergraduate degree. You are able to work 20-30 hours/week each semester. You want to lean in and help the organization be secure without slowing people down. Stopping the threat actors is what it's all about for you. You are as comfortable on the command line as you are in a GUI, if not more so. Optimizing existing tools or building new ones to help secure our infrastructure makes everyday exciting for you. Your natural curiosity should drive your success.
