About the TeamThe MG Security Engineering organization provides unified security services across all Match Group brands. The Monitoring, Incident Response & SOC team is responsible for real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across the full portfolio — operating 24/7 to ensure security alerts are effectively triaged and responded to, minimizing the impact of potential threats.About the Role
We're looking for a senior individual contributor to join our Detection & Response team as a Security Incident Response Analyst. In this role, you'll serve as a senior-level investigator responsible for detecting, analyzing, and responding to advanced security threats across on-prem and cloud infrastructure in a multi-vendor environment. You'll lead investigations spanning phishing, malware, insider threats, and other complex security incidents — driving them from initial detection through containment, eradication, and recovery.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end investigations into phishing, malware, insider threats, and other advanced security incidents
- Triage and analyze security alerts, distinguishing true threats from noise, and prioritize response based on risk and business impact.
- Perform technical malware analysis, including static and dynamic examination of suspicious files, to determine behavior, capability, and intent.
- Conduct host and network-based analysis — analyzing system logs, processes, registry/configuration artifacts, memory, traffic patterns, DNS activity, and connection logs — to reconstruct attacker activity and identify persistence, command-and-control, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.
- Investigate cloud-native incidents by analyzing audit logs, IAM and access activity, and network flow data to detect unauthorized access, privilege misuse, and malicious file activities across cloud environments.
- Drive incidents through containment, eradication, and recovery, coordinating with cross-functional teams as needed.
- Develop and refine detection logic, playbooks, and response procedures to improve the team's ability to identify and act on emerging threats.
- Act as an escalation point for the most technically complex cases, mentoring junior analysts.
- Document findings and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including post-incident reports and executive summaries.

This role plays a key part in containing impact, protecting user trust, and improving our overall response maturity.
