- You’ll support day-to-day operations, support security events, and contribute to improvements that make our workflows more effective
- You’ll collaborate with teams across the organization—from IT to application owners—to support security best practices and help resolve issues as they arise.
- You’ll also have opportunities to grow your technical skills, work with modern security technologies, and contribute to projects that improve our security posture over time
- SaaS Security Analyst Responsibilities:
- Posture Monitoring Across SaaS Applications: Work closely with SaaS application owners and stakeholders and help drive down SaaS security risk findings especially in IAM & access control hygiene such as least privilege enforcement, manage access lifecycle, and implement MFA and role-based access

- Misconfiguration Detection & Remediation: Identify risks in SaaS environments and lead remediation with SaaS owners
- Data Flow & Third-party App Oversight: Monitor app integrations and third-party data sharing to minimize exposure

Our take
Named one of the top 50 Hottest Edge Hardware, Software, and Services Companies of 2022, Pure Storage is a data storage company that helps tech and software businesses leverage the continuous innovations of AI and machine learning through its storage solutions. From Roblox to NASA, many of Pure Storage’s customers are leaders in their fields.
After seeing rapid revenue growth in the early 2010s despite overall losses, Pure Storage’s 2015 IPO benefitted the company over the next half-decade, spreading losses with public trade. The risk especially paid off when many companies migrated to cloud services in the 2020s.
As data centers flew into the crosshairs of sustainable energy efforts, Pure Storage has remained on the right side of publicity through its Evergreen // One portfolio, a flexible consumption-based storage model for providers. In January 2023, Pure Storage reported continued subscription growth for this model and should continue on track as its hefty and influential client list evolves to meet sustainability goals.
