About the role

Point Digital Finance is expanding its Information Security function, and this is the team's first dedicated monitoring and response hire — a high-visibility role with immediate, measurable impact. As Senior Security Operations Analyst (Detection & Response), you will be the second half of an incident-response rotation, partnering directly with the security lead to detect, investigate, and contain threats across a regulated consumer-finance environment that protects the financial data of hundreds of thousands of homeowners. This is not an alert-watching seat: you will engineer the detections, automate the response, and harden how we see our AWS, Google Workspace, and SaaS estate. You'll help stand up a modern detection & response practice from an early-stage footing, with the autonomy to own problems end to end and the mandate to turn noisy alerts into fast, repeatable, well-documented response. If you like building as much as responding — and want your work to directly reduce risk to real people's financial lives — this role is for you.
