Get to know the Role:

As a Forensic Analyst at Grab, you’ll be responsible for hunting down hidden, buried, and deleted data in the terabytes of data Grab uses. You will be called upon to determine the truth of the matter in diverse situations, cultures, languages, and technologies. In your spare time, you’ll actively hunt through our networks for undetected suspect activity and drive your findings to ground. You’ll use tried and true techniques, tools, and best practices and also invent new ones along the way. You’ll be surrounded by smart, driven people who all care about Grab’s mission and information security.

The day-to-day activities:

• Investigate: Piece together complex data from disparate sources to tell cogent stories to industry peers and executives
• Hunt: Be proactive and use the latest enterprise forensic techniques to hunt down malicious activity in our assets
• Respond: When an incident occurs, you will be on the front lines of response for the entire company, working side by side with our security analysts, engineers and investigators.
• Advise: Help us pick the best solutions to nascent problems - vendors, processes, training, etc. You will use your expertise to shape the future of the team

The must haves

• Proven forensics expertise - whether you’re a pro on windows, mac, linux, cloud platforms, or networks, we’d love to talk. Bonus points for testifying to your findings or supporting them in an adversarial environment. Various certificates like GCFE, GCFA, CFCE, etc are nice-to-haves
• Strong, proven track record of delivering results in fast-paced, resource scarce environments. Assume your favorite tool is not available but that you have the chance to learn a new one
• Ability to handle stress effectively and maintain strong output during an incident
• Curiosity and a relentless drive to understand how networks work and how they can be abused
• Initiative and drive - we are building this team from the ground up which means we often have to improvise and make important decisions with imperfect information. You should seek these opportunities out rather than shy away from them
• Scripting ability - Proficient in using languages like Ruby, Python, Perl to automate tasks and process large amounts of messy data
