As a Senior Security Technologist, Incident Command, you are accountable for leading Uber’s most critical, complex, and high-impact security incidents end-to-end - from escalation to containment, recovery, and systemic remediation. You operate at the intersection of Fire Captain, NTSB Investigator, and hands-on technical practitioner. In the moment, you take command - setting strategy, assigning resources, and making high-consequence decisions under pressure. After the smoke clears, you drive deep technical investigation and post-incident analysis to ensure we understand not just what happened, but why it happened, and that meaningful, durable fixes are made.
Job Responsibility:
Command the highest severity and most complex security incidents across Uber and its subsidiaries, serving as the single accountable leader during active response
Participate in an on-call rotation where you are expected to make real-time decisions with incomplete information, balancing speed, risk, and impact
Act as the incident authority, not just a facilitator - forming hypotheses, setting strategy, and directing investigative focus
Transition seamlessly between executive-level incident leadership and hands-on technical investigation, including log analysis, system interrogation, and root cause validation
Serve as the primary interface to senior leadership during critical incidents, translating evolving technical realities into clear risk, impact, and decision frameworks
Build and maintain strong working relationships with global engineering, infrastructure, legal, privacy, and operations teams to enable fast, coordinated response
Conduct rigorous post-incident analysis in the spirit of an NTSB investigation - focused on systemic causes, contributing factors, and concrete prevention
Mentor and develop other responders and incident leaders, raising the organization’s ability to handle complex, time-critical security events
Lead and materially contribute to initiatives that mature Uber’s incident response program, including: High-fidelity incident simulations and technical tabletop exercises
Threat-informed response planning and scenario development
‘Left of boom’ threat modeling to prevent incidents before they occur
Improvements to detection, containment, and response automation
Adoption of new investigative techniques and tooling, including AI-assisted workflows
Requirements:
5+ years in security operations, detection, or incident response roles at scale, with demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, large, complex, high-impact incidents
Deep familiarity with modern attacker TTPs and how they manifest across logs, systems, networks, endpoints, and applications
Strong technical investigation skills - comfortable working directly with logs, telemetry, and raw system data to validate hypotheses and determine root cause
Experience briefing executives during active incidents, with the ability to clearly explain tradeoffs, risks, and recommended actions
Experience designing or running technical incident simulations (tabletops, purple team exercises, or similar) that stress real-world response capabilities
Experience building or leveraging AI-driven tooling to improve incident response posture, applying frontier technology to workflows such as triage, investigation, correlation, or decision support
Nice to have:
Demonstrated experience leading other responders through direct command during incidents and longer-term technical mentorship
Strong bias for action and continuous improvement
Experience responding to incidents in highly distributed, cloud-scale environments where blast radius and coordination complexity are significant
Broad security domain knowledge (infrastructure, endpoint, product, identity, data) and the ability to reason across them during incidents
Ability to script or code (Python, Go, or similar) to automate response tasks, prototype tooling, or close operational gaps
