As the leading platform for Daily Fantasy Sports, we cover a diverse range of sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and Esports titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. Our team of over 550 employees thrives in an inclusive culture that values individuals from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their level of sports fandom. Ready to reimagine the DFS industry together? \nWe're maturing Information Security's detection, incident response, and forensics capabilities, and we're looking for a seasoned SOC engineer to help lead that effort alongside the existing team. This is a hands-on role spanning monitoring, triage, response, and forensics, with real ownership over how the program evolves from here.\nWhat you'll do:\nOwn Detection & Monitoring: Own how we monitor and triage events and alerts ingested into the SIEM, working with the team to tune detection content, reduce false positives, and close coverage gaps.\nBuild the Playbooks: Lead the design and continuous improvement of incident response playbooks, so response is consistent and repeatable across the team, even when you're not the one running it.\nThreat Hunt: Lead our threat hunting practice, proactively hunting for malicious or anomalous activity that alerting and automated detection don't catch.\nMature Forensics Capability: Strengthen our digital forensics capability, including the processes and tooling that support investigations and evidence handling.\nAutomate the Response: Drive automation for alerting, enrichment, and triage across the team's workflows to cut manual toil and reduce time to respond.\nRespond to Incidents: React to and lead response on incidents as they fire, coordinating across business partners as needed.\nDocument and Learn: Document incidents, root cause, and remediation with clarity and rigor.\nOwn Post-Incident Reviews: Build a structured, blameless post-incident review process, with real root-cause analysis, action items tracked to closure, and follow-through that goes beyond a debrief call.\nMature the Program: Shape how the program measures itself and scales, evolving IR metrics, escalation paths, and priorities over time.\nWhat you'll have:\nExperience building or significantly maturing a SOC/IR function, as opposed to operating one that's already fully staffed. You've helped take a program from early-stage to production-ready.\n5+ years in a SOC, incident response, or detection engineering role, with demonstrated ownership of an IR or monitoring program, outside of queue work.\nStrong grasp of the full incident response lifecycle: preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.\nHands-on SIEM experience: log ingestion, correlation rules, detection tuning. Specific platform is flexible.\nExperience with forensic analysis and evidence handling across host and cloud environments.\nComfort building automation/scripting for triage and response (Python or similar).\nWorking knowledge of cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) and common attacker TTPs (MITRE ATT&CK).\nAbility to define risk in both technical and business-relevant terms.\nClear written communication: this role produces the playbooks and incident documentation the rest of the team relies on.\nTechnical must haves:\nSIEM tooling: log correlation, alert tuning, content development (platform-agnostic).\nDigital forensics fundamentals: host, network, and/or cloud evidence collection and analysis.\nScripting/automation ability (Python or similar) for triage and response workflows.\nWorking knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).\nFamiliarity with MITRE ATT&CK and common threat actor TTPs.\nWhat makes you stand out:\nRelevant certifications (GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, OSCP, or equivalent).\nSOAR platform experience.\nPrior experience in fintech, gaming, or another high-fraud-risk industry.\nExperience running detection and IR in a distributed/remote workforce, leaning on endpoint and identity signals rather than a centralized network perimeter.\nWhere you’ll live:\nWhile we prefer candidates based in Atlanta, we are open to qualified applicants from anywhere in the U.S. and are willing to consider remote candidates. #LI-Remote \nWorking at PrizePicks:\nThe typical salary range for this position is $160,000 to $175,000.
