Job Summary

At Navan you will serve as the technical lead for our incident response lifecycle driving the containment and remediation of security threats across our multi-cloud infrastructure products and operational environments. You will balance hands-on technical investigations with the leadership required to coordinate response efforts leveraging a modern security stack to protect our global travel and expense platform.

  • Data Protection & Visibility: Monitor and respond to data risks across endpoints identity and SaaS applications using Cyberhaven DLP. Identify gaps in IAM and vulnerability management and advocate for direct fixes.
  • Architecture Partnership: Partner with infrastructure owners to ensure new systems ship across all cloud environments with the right telemetry encryption authentication and response playbooks from day one.
  • Emergent Threats: Evaluate and design response strategies for frontier security concerns such as automated agents or bots operating across infrastructure at scale.
  • On-Call Rotation: Actively participate in the scheduled Incident Response on-call rotation ensuring reliable coverage and operational readiness for emergent threats.

What Were Looking For:

  • 5 years of experience in a dedicated Incident Response SOC or Security Engineering role with a proven track record of leading high-severity incident containment in fast-paced environments
  • Strong familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework modern adversary tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs) and common attack vectors targeting SaaS platforms
  • Proven experience managing and tuning detection logic within CrowdStrike Falcon (or equivalent enterprise EDR/XDR) and enterprise SIEM platforms.
