Serve as the primary interface to senior leadership during critical incidents, translating evolving technical realities into clear risk, impact, and decision frameworks
Build and maintain strong working relationships with global engineering, infrastructure, legal, privacy, and operations teams to enable fast, coordinated response
Conduct rigorous post-incident analysis in the spirit of an NTSB investigation - focused on systemic causes, contributing factors, and concrete prevention
Mentor and develop other responders and incident leaders, raising the organization’s ability to handle complex, time-critical security events
Lead and materially contribute to initiatives that mature Uber’s incident response program, including: High-fidelity incident simulations and technical tabletop exercises, Threat-informed response planning and scenario development, ‘Left of boom’ threat modeling to prevent incidents before they occur, Improvements to detection, containment, and response automation, Adoption of new investigative techniques and tooling, including AI-assisted workflows

Required
5+ years in security operations, detection, or incident response roles at scale, with demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, large, complex, high-impact incidents
Deep familiarity with modern attacker TTPs and how they manifest across logs, systems, networks, endpoints, and applications
Strong technical investigation skills - comfortable working directly with logs, telemetry, and raw system data to validate hypotheses and determine root cause
Experience briefing executives during active incidents, with the ability to clearly explain tradeoffs, risks, and recommended actions
Experience designing or running technical incident simulations (tabletops, purple team exercises, or similar) that stress real-world response capabilities
Experience building or leveraging AI-driven tooling to improve incident response posture, applying frontier technology to workflows such as triage, investigation, correlation, or decision support
Preferred

Strong bias for action and continuous improvement - uncomfortable with leaving with a shrug if things aren't right
Experience responding to incidents in highly distributed, cloud-scale environments where blast radius and coordination complexity are significant
