Eye Security is seeking a Staff Cybersecurity Specialist to lead incident response and security operations within a product-driven Managed Detection and Response (MDR) organization serving over 1,000 customers across Europe.
In this senior individual contributor role, you will lead cyber incident response engagements from investigation through recovery, working directly with customers during critical security incidents. You will serve as a trusted technical authority within the team, mentor less experienced responders, and drive improvements across security operations. Unlike traditional consultancy, you'll operate at scale within a product-driven MDR environment, leveraging large security datasets to strengthen protections across the entire customer base.
Key responsibilities include:
- Acting as a leading technical authority, owning strategic improvement initiatives and shaping the future direction of incident response and security operations capabilities
- Leading cyber incident response engagements from intake through recovery
- Serving as technical lead during investigations, coordinating response activities and driving outcomes
- Conducting forensic investigations to determine attack scope, root cause, and impact
- Supporting customers during active cybersecurity incidents with clear technical guidance
- Supporting MDR and Security Operations activities when not engaged in active incident response
- Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders including management, legal counsel, law enforcement, and regulators
- Mentoring junior and mid-level responders to raise team technical maturity
- Contributing to continuous improvement of incident response methodologies, playbooks, and operational processes
You will work with state-of-the-art security tooling and collaborate with security professionals from intelligence, military, consulting, national CERT, and technology backgrounds. Beyond operational response work, you'll have opportunities to contribute to internal research initiatives, Bug Bounty Fridays, Capture The Flag events, and other technical projects. This position reports directly to the Director of Security Operations.
