With the recent merger of SmartSimple, Foundant Technologies & GivingData , we’ve created a powerhouse of solutions designed to meet the unique needs of organizations striving to make a difference. Together, we’re setting new standards in innovation, flexibility, and impact management by helping organizations achieve their missions more efficiently and effectively.

  • Develop and maintain dashboards, metrics, and alerts to improve visibility into system and application security posture.
  • Assist in root cause analysis and document lessons learned for continuous process improvement.

  • Work with engineering teams to ensure logs and telemetry are properly configured for security visibility.
  • Maintain and enhance incident response playbooks and escalation procedures.
  • Support periodic threat hunting and proactive detection activities.
  • Previous knowledge of Datadog monitoring tool is a plus. Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) and related security controls is essential.
  • Some knowledge of application security principles and technology stacks such as .NET and Java is helpful for identifying vulnerabilities and correlating alerts.
  • Contribute to security reporting and metrics for leadership visibility and ongoing risk management.
  • Other duties as assigned.
  • What You’ll Need :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
  • 2–6 years of hands‑on experience in threat monitoring, detection engineering, and incident response across cloud and on‑prem environments.
  • Experience building or maturing a Security Operations Center (SOC), including developing runbooks and incident handling playbooks.
  • Strong understanding of current security threats, attack techniques, and MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Familiarity with SIEM platforms (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, Sentinel) and log analysis for detection and investigation.
  • Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, including understanding of cloud‑native security controls.
  • Ability to perform root‑cause analysis and post‑incident reviews to improve detection and response processes.
  • Knowledge of vulnerability management, endpoint protection, and threat intelligence integration is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work with DevOps, IT, and product teams.
  • Why You’ll Love Working at SmartSimple + Foundant :
