Security Analyst

We're looking for an innovative Security Analyst to join our Information Security team. In this role, you'll help drive Rover's vulnerability management program and day-to-day security operations - identifying and prioritizing risk across our corporate SaaS systems and AWS-hosted cloud applications, and working to remediate it before it becomes a problem. You'll use Splunk and other tooling to make our monitoring, detection, and investigation work faster and more effective, and you'll look for ways to apply AI and automation to eliminate manual toil across security operations and vulnerability management.

You'll work alongside dedicated technical and non-technical professionals who make Rover.com the world's leading platform for pet care services, and you'll be expected to stay ahead of the curve on emerging security threats, standards, and technologies.

This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in the Greater Seattle Area or willing to relocate.

• Identify and implement opportunities to use AI and automation to increase the efficiency of security operations, vulnerability management, and compliance reporting
• Work cross-functionally to prepare documentation and evidence for audits and regulatory frameworks (SOX, PCI, GDPR, CCPA)
• Evaluate existing security plans, processes, and procedures, and propose enhancements
• Develop analyses and reports on historical and potential security incidents, including root cause and business impact
• Research emerging security trends and technologies to keep Rover's defenses current
• Make recommendations to managers and senior leaders on security improvements to better protect company systems
• Promote security awareness and best practices among Roverines to elevate company-wide security culture

• Experience in threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and scoring systems (e.g., CVSS)
• Practical experience with IAM role and policy development and efficacy evaluation
• Security certifications (CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISA, CGEIT, CRISC, etc.)
