About the Team The MG Security Engineering organization provides unified security services across all Match Group brands. The Monitoring, Incident Response & SOC team is responsible for real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across the full portfolio — operating 24/7 to ensure security alerts are effectively triaged and responded to, minimizing the impact of potential threats. About the Role We're looking for a senior individual contributor to join our Detection & Response team as a Security Incident Response Analyst. In this role, you'll serve as a senior-level investigator responsible for detecting, analyzing, and responding to advanced security threats across on-prem and cloud infrastructure in a multi-vendor environment. You'll lead investigations spanning phishing, malware, insider threats, and other complex security incidents — driving them from initial detection through containment, eradication, and recovery.

Perform technical malware analysis, including static and dynamic examination of suspicious files, to determine behavior, capability, and intent. Conduct host and network-based analysis — analyzing system logs, processes, registry/configuration artifacts, memory, traffic patterns, DNS activity, and connection logs — to reconstruct attacker activity and identify persistence, command-and-control, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. Investigate cloud-native incidents by analyzing audit logs, IAM and access activity, and network flow data to detect unauthorized access, privilege misuse, and malicious file activities across cloud environments. Drive incidents through containment, eradication, and recovery, coordinating with cross-functional teams as needed. Develop and refine detection logic, playbooks, and response procedures to improve the team's ability to identify and act on emerging threats. Act as an escalation point for the most technically complex cases, mentoring junior analysts. Document findings and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including post-incident reports and executive summaries. $ 110000- $130000 a year Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered.
