With an emphasis on user and entity behavior analytics, as well as endpoint hardening, you will gain a deep understanding of Stripe’s systems, tooling, and workflows to be able to differentiate between legitimate and malicious activity. Using both threat intelligence and collected telemetry, you will guide and build Stripe-specific signals enrichment logic and incident response solutions that scale with our company. Lastly, your analytic capabilities will be critical during security incidents to reduce uncertainty, uncover root causes, and inform future prevention and detection mechanisms.
