With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Security Engineer with deep incident response experience to help defend Replit, a fast-moving, cloud-native AI vibe-coding platform. You'll be the person who takes charge when something goes wrong. You'll lead investigations from first signal to root cause, coordinate containment across Security, SRE, and Engineering, and keep stakeholders informed while the incident is moving fast.\nThis isn't a pure responder role. We want a well-rounded security engineer who has run real incidents and wants to make the next one faster. You'll write the scripts, automations, and tooling that take manual work out of triage, evidence collection, and containment. You'll also turn lessons from each incident into better detections, playbooks, and platform hardening.\nResponsibilities\nIncident Response\nServe as incident commander or technical lead for security incidents, from detection and triage through containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.\n\nCoordinate response across Security, SRE, Engineering, Legal, and leadership. Drive decisions under pressure and keep a clear record of actions taken.\n\nCommunicate incident status, impact, and risk clearly to technical and executive audiences.\n\nParticipate in and help shape the security on-call rotation.\n\nInvestigation & Forensics\nInvestigate suspicious activity across cloud infrastructure, containers, identity systems, and application layers using SIEM, Cloud Logging, telemetry, and host and container artifacts.\n\nDetermine scope, root cause, attacker behavior, and blast radius for confirmed incidents.\n\nQuickly assess whether emerging threats (0-days, active exploitation campaigns, bug bounty findings, customer reports) apply to Replit, and whether we're already affected.\n\nIR Automation & Tooling\nBuild scripts, automations, and tools (Python, Go, Bash, or directly on Replit) that speed up response, such as automated enrichment, evidence collection, credential and session revocation, workload isolation, and alert triage.\n\nDevelop and maintain response playbooks and runbooks, and automate them where possible.\n\nIntegrate response workflows with SIEM, SOAR, ticketing, and chat tooling to cut time-to-contain.\n\nDetection & Continuous Improvement\nTurn incident findings into new or improved detections, logging coverage, and visibility.\n\nLead blameless post-incident reviews and drive remediation items to completion.\n\nRun tabletop exercises and simulations to test readiness and find gaps.\n\nRequired Skills & Experience\nProven experience leading or serving as technical lead on security incidents in a cloud or SaaS environment.\n\nStrong hands-on investigation skills with SIEM, cloud audit logs, and log-based analysis. Comfortable working through large datasets under time pressure.\n\nProficiency writing production-quality scripts or tools in Python, Go, or Bash for investigation and automation.\n\nSolid knowledge of cloud architecture and security, especially Google Cloud Platform (IAM, audit logging, GKE, networking).\n\nWorking knowledge of Kubernetes and containers, including how to investigate and contain compromised workloads.\n\nUnderstanding of identity systems, SaaS architectures, and common cloud attack paths (credential theft, privilege escalation, supply chain, token abuse).\n\nFamiliarity with software engineering fundamentals, CI/CD pipelines, and package ecosystems, so you can work effectively with Engineering on code-level fixes.\n\nUnderstanding of IR frameworks and lifecycle (for example NIST 800-61), plus the vulnerability lifecycle and exploitability analysis.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building or operating SOAR or other response automation platforms.\n\nDigital forensics experience with cloud, Linux hosts, or containers.\n\nExperience with threat intelligence, threat hunting, or security research.\n\nExperience with bug bounty programs or coordinated vulnerability disclosure.\n\nFamiliarity with detection-as-code practices and writing detection rules.\n\nExperience in fast-paced, cloud-native, or AI/ML-driven environments.\n\nRelevant certifications (such as GCIH, GCFA, GCFR), or equivalent hands-on experience.\n\nWhat We Value\nCuriosity & initiative: Strong desire to understand attacker behaviors, emerging threats, and how they apply to real-world systems.\n\nSpeed & analytical rigor: Ability to quickly assess high-risk vulnerabilities with clear, evidence-based reasoning.\n\nCollaboration: Comfort working across cross-functional teams spanning Security, SRE, Engineering, and Infrastructure.\n\nClear communication: Ability to explain findings, risks, and mitigation strategies to stakeholders at all levels.\n\nOwnership mindset: Takes initiative to drive investigations, improvements, and remediations to completion.\n\nContinuous learning: Passion for staying up to date on new vulnerabilities, exploit trends, and cloud-native security best practices.\n\nFull-Time Employee Benefits Include:\nCompetitive Salary & Equity\n401(k) Program with a 4% match (US Only)\nHealth, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance\nShort Term and Long Term Disability\nPaid Parental, Medical, Caregiver Leave\nFlexible Time Off (FTO) + Holidays\nCommuter Benefits (In-Office & US Only)\nMonthly Wellness Stipend\nAutonomous Work Environment\nIn Office Set-Up Reimbursement (In-Office Only)\nQuarterly Team Gatherings\nIn Office Amenities (In-Office Only)\nWant to learn more about what we are up to?\nSelf-driving Company\n\nReplit Agent at Scale\n\nAI Adoption\n\nBuild Open-Source Apps\n\nInterviewing + Culture at Replit\nOperating Principles\n\nReasons not to work at Replit\n\nTo achieve our mission of making programming more accessible around the world, we need our team to be representative of the world. We welcome your unique perspective and experiences in shaping this product. We encourage people from all kinds of backgrounds to apply, including and especially candidates from underrepresented and non-traditional backgrounds.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6181,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity","Flexible time off","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Incident Response","Code Intelligence","AI Development Tools","Website Builders"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T21:20:56Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 29 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":29,"filings_prev_12m":5,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":201833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":81,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":360000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/replit-security-engineer-incident-response","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/replit-security-engineer-incident-response.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T23:22:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2425},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2425"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Freplit-security-engineer-incident-response"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Freplit-security-engineer-incident-response"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Freplit-security-engineer-incident-response"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/replit-security-engineer-incident-response\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Freplit-security-engineer-incident-response"}]}
