High Performance at Neo

Teamwork: We trust, respect, encourage, and show up for each other — through good times and hard. We're on this mission not just for ourselves, but also for the people we work with — and ultimately, for our customers.

Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo's success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

Professional Integrity: We're asking millions of Canadians to trust us with their hard-earned money — so we hold ourselves (and each other) to the highest standards of integrity.

• Architect cloud-first security systems (e.g. Netskope, Zscaler, Crowdstrike, Cloud-native DLP, AWS security, etc)
• Monitor security alerts and logs from various systems, applications, and network devices to detect and investigate potential security incidents.
• Conduct security event analysis and triage security alerts to identify and prioritize potential threats or vulnerabilities.
• Perform security assessments, risk analysis, and vulnerability scans to identify weaknesses in systems and recommend remediation measures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security into IT infrastructure, applications, and services.
• Provide guidance and expertise on security best practices and recommend security enhancements.
• Document security incidents, investigations, and actions taken for future reference and improvement.
• Stay updated on emerging security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices.

Who we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 7+ years experience as a Security Analyst or in a similar role focusing on standards and compliance.
• Proven experience in IT security, incident response, or a related field.
• Familiarity with security tools and technologies such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, antivirus, and endpoint protection.
• Knowledge of security frameworks and best practices (e.g., NIST, CIS, SOC2, PCI, etc).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
