We need someone who reads stack traces the way other people read headlines, and we're calling that someone a Cybersecurity Analyst. A mid-level seat in MO that values Security Auditing, pays $74,000 - $101,000 for 3 years of it, and hands you the wheel early.
Key Responsibilities
- Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
- Watch Security Auditing error budgets and pump the brakes before Springfield, MO burns through them
- Translate fuzzy product wishes from Merck stakeholders into shippable Threat Intelligence services
- Decode the undocumented Security Auditing service nobody at Merck remembers writing
- Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
- Wrangle CompTIA Security+ config across environments so Springfield staging mirrors production
- Keep Merck's Phishing Simulation dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
What You'll Bring
- Experience thriving in a bias-to-action, deadline-driven setting like Merck
- The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
- The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
- Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
- The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
- 5+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
- Familiarity with the rhythms of an outcome-focused full-time team
