Senior Windows IR Practitioner | Cyber Security Training
TryHackMe is the fastest-growing online cyber security training platform. Our mission is to make learning and teaching cyber security easier by providing gamified security exercises and challenges. Having only been around for handful of years, we've grown to more than 7+ million community members and our growth isn't slowing down! 🥷
The Role
We're looking for experienced incident responders and blue team practitioners to join our Content Engineering team. Your job is simple in concept: take what you know from real world IR work and turn it into world class training content. You’ll take your years of real world experience and teach your peers and the next generation.
We’re open to permanent hires as well as short-term and longer-term contract options.
Job Responsibilities
Research, design, and develop defensive cyber security training material with supporting hands-on lab exercises (such as virtual machines and datasets for analysis). Draw on your real world IR experience to build realistic, scenario driven labs that reflect how attacks actually unfold in enterprise Windows environments. Develop and configure virtual machines and sample datasets for realistic cybersecurity labs. Collaborate closely with your team by sharing expertise, reviewing each other's work, and raising the quality bar collectively. Take charge of planning and designing portions of the content development roadmap. Collaborate with the Head of Content Engineering to continuously improve the content development process. Analyse industry trends in tooling and techniques and recreate them as teachable content. Strategically plan, review, and schedule content with our blue team content engineering team
