Our culture of flexibility, trust, and continual learning means you will be recognized for your growth, and for the impact you make on our success. You will be surrounded by people who challenge, support, and inspire you to be the best version of yourself. The Role BeyondTrust is a global leader in privileged access management. Our products provide remote access and privileged control capabilities that are deployed across thousands of enterprise environments worldwide. That makes us a high-value target. Nation-state actors, ransomware operators, and sophisticated threat groups actively target companies like ours—not just to compromise our corporate environment, but to reach the customers who trust our software to protect their most sensitive systems. A compromise of BeyondTrust is a compromise of the privileged access layer inside our customers’ networks. We take that responsibility seriously. As a Cyber Defense Engineer on our Cyber Defense Operations team, you will serve as a front-line defender responsible for protecting both BeyondTrust’s enterprise infrastructure and the integrity of the products our customers depend on. You will monitor, investigate, and respond to security events in an environment where the stakes are real and the adversaries are capable. You will work alongside experienced threat hunters, incident responders, and detection engineers in a collaborative team that values sharp analytical thinking over checkbox compliance. This team is building toward an AI-augmented operating model. You will be expected to use AI-driven tools in your daily work and to contribute to how we integrate these capabilities into our detection, triage, and response workflows. We are not looking for people who are waiting to be told what to do—we are looking for people who want to build something.
