What the job involves
- The EDR Security Engineer is responsible for the technical administration, configuration, and maintenance of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms. As a member of the Incident Response (IR) team, this role ensures the integrity of endpoint telemetry and the effectiveness of detection logic
- You will manage multiple EDR solutions across a diverse environment and provide secondary engineering support for the broader security toolset as necessary. As a critical member of the IR function, this position requires occasional availability after-hours to assist with urgent incident containment and system restoration
- EDR Administration & Fleet Health: Oversee the deployment, lifecycle management, and configuration of multiple enterprise EDR platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint). Monitor and maintain agent health across all managed endpoints, troubleshooting failures and performance issues to maintain established service levels
- Policy & Detection Engineering: Develop and refine detection policies and indicators to improve detection rates and minimize false positive alerts. Translate threat intelligence into actionable endpoint rules to ensure high-fidelity alerting
- Cloud Workload Protection: Manage security deployments across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Ensure consistent telemetry and protection for virtual machines and containerized workloads, utilizing cloud-native security services as required
- Systems Integration & Tooling Support: Work with engineering teams to maintain integrations between EDR consoles and existing SIEM/SOAR platforms. Provide secondary technical support for auxiliary security technologies, including Audit and DLP tools
- Incident Response Support: Assist IR analysts during active security incidents by performing endpoint containment, executing live response scripts, and conducting remote data collection. Assist in the restoration of systems and the hardening of endpoint policies post-incident
- Operational Reliability & Documentation: Adhere to formal change management processes for all policy modifications. Maintain clear technical documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and configuration baselines for internal stakeholders
Application process
- Our interview process for all final-round candidates requires a mandatory in-person interview or a live, scheduled video conference with the hiring manager
Our take
Cybersecurity threats are increasingly urgent for businesses, governments, and citizens worldwide, growing in both number and sophistication. Recorded Future has spent over a decade developing a solution to this problem. Its platform leverages billions of data points from across the internet, including dark web sources, state actors, and vulnerability information, to identify and anticipate cybersecurity threats.
While many cybersecurity firms are emerging due to the surging demand, Recorded Future stands out with its market-leading pedigree. Originally funded by In-Q-Tel and Google, its clients include private contractors for the US Intelligence Community, and it has produced influential reports on major cybersecurity issues.
Continuing to expand its capabilities by adding identity intelligence, attack surface intelligence, and card fraud intelligence, it partners with companies like Microsoft to research new cyber threats. Recorded Future was acquired by Mastercard in 2025 for a staggering $2.7B, where it will integrate its AI-powered threat intelligence with the payments company's cybersecurity services. This has opened up an even wider customer base for Recorded Future as the world of digital payment solutions becomes increasingly vulnerable to advanced cyber threats.
