WHO WE ARE
We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things. The company’s first tech-based solution was developed in 1997 to optimize options trading, and over the past two decades, the same formula has been used across a range of industries, asset classes, and business stages to consistently deliver superior results. Today, PEAK6 seeks transformational opportunities to provide capital and strategic support to entrepreneurs and forward-thinking businesses. PEAK6’s core brands include PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, FOCUS, We Insure, Evil Geniuses, Poker Power, Zogo, and Bruce Markets.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
You’ll keep the security engine humming. That means clean triage, reliable
metrics, and less toil for engineers. You’ll ensure every acted-on alert is
captured, publish clear daily/weekly views, and drive the operational
rhythms that make our detections and posture improvements stick.
What you’ll do
Own triage & metrics: ensure 100% of acted-on alerts are ticketed with owner/SLA/evidence; publish digests; and maintain a feedback loop on false positives with the Detection & Response Engineer.
Support vulnerability work: confirm authenticated scans, chase SLA breaches, and elevate internet-facing exposure.
Keep the pipes healthy: run health checks for Abnormal, Netskope, Gmail, and Docs;
Make reporting real: maintain the executive scorecard, keep incident timelines current, and update documentation as processes evolve.
CSPM triage & exceptions: track the queue, verify owner updates, and publish weekly status to keep posture work moving.
What you’ll bring
Experience: 2–4 years in SOC/security operations with hands-on triage, ticket hygiene, and KPI reporting.
Familiarity with SIEM-driven workflows, EDR/Email/SWG signals, and CSPM findings routing (you don’t need to build detections, but you should recognize quality).
Strong communication, note-taking, and documentation; comfortable nudging owners to hit SLAs.
Experience with Jira (or similar), plus a mindset for consistency and continuous improvement.
Good English language communication skills
Certifications (nice to have, not required)
CompTIA Security+, CySA+, GIAC GMON/GCIA/GSEC, Splunk
Core or Chronicle user certs, AWS Cloud Practitioner.
How we’ll measure success
Consistent, accurate triage with clean tickets and timely follow through.
Executive reporting is reliable, clear, and shows improving trends.
Noise is under control, and the feedback loop leads to better detections.
Critical exposures are surfaced quickly and driven to closure.
