The Opportunity

The Adobe Cyber Defence Centre is seeking a Senior CSIRT Responder to play a critical role in our cybersecurity incident response team. Cyber threats continue to evolve, and perimeter security and automated protections are not always enough. When compromises occur, our IR team steps in to investigate and respond.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with incident commanders, fellow responders, and cybersecurity analysts to detect, analyse, and mitigate security incidents—ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Adobe’s systems. Beyond responding to active threats, we proactively work hand-in-hand with the Threat Hunting team to search through vast datasets for malicious or suspicious activity.
