Technology

In short

At On, our technology moves as fast as our runners: always evolving, always pushing boundaries. We're building a world-class platform to ignite the human spirit through movement, and our Information Security team is the trusted guardian of that mission. Join a collaborative team of curious minds who view security not as a blocker, but as an accelerator. We are explorers in a dynamic landscape, constantly venturing into new territories of technology and threat defense. We are looking for a Senior Security Analyst who shares this passion—someone who wants to move beyond the conventional SOC and help build the future of security operations at On.

Your Mission

As a senior member of our security operations team, this is a deeply hands-on role where you will act as a strategic defender at the heart of our ecosystem. Your mission is to tackle expert-level (L3) challenges, from in-the-weeds incident response and proactive threat hunting to engineering robust detection capabilities. You'll not only solve the most complex security incidents yourself but also use your findings to build a more resilient environment for tomorrow.

Lead the hands-on investigation of critical security incidents, conducting deep-dive technical analysis and coordinating remediation with our engineering teams
Serve as a senior escalation point during an on-call rotation, ensuring a rapid and effective response to critical security incidents outside of working hours
Master our primary security tool, Google SecOps (Chronicle), by personally developing sophisticated detection rules and optimizing our security event pipeline
Proactively hunt for hidden threats within our fast-paced Cloud environment, getting your hands dirty with data to turn hypotheses into actionable intelligence
Shape our security strategy by contributing to threat modelling, vendor risk assessments, and the continuous evolution of our detection and response program
Mentor team members and act as a subject matter expert, sharing your practical knowledge and elevating the capabilities of the entire security function
