Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Security operations roles are increasingly central in SaaS, where trust is built through reliable detection, response, and auditability across cloud services. This Senior Security Analyst position stands out because it sits close to the product and infrastructure surface area, with explicit attention to cloud telemetry, identity, and incident handling. The listing also signals a company operating at meaningful scale, where security work shifts from ad hoc response toward repeatable systems that can support broad usage and scrutiny.
For a SaaS career, the durable value here is in learning how modern security programs mature: turning investigations into higher-fidelity detections, reducing response time through automation, and translating post-incident findings into roadmap-level improvements. Experience building “security-as-code” and integrating SIEM and EDR signals tends to transfer well across SaaS environments, especially as more teams standardize on cloud-native logging, API-driven controls, and measurable operational outcomes.
This role fits professionals who prefer builder-oriented security work over pure monitoring, and who enjoy partnering with engineering and operations to close gaps end to end. It will likely suit someone comfortable owning ambiguous problems, documenting decisions, and mentoring others while still remaining hands-on in investigations and response workflows.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
Job Description
Who is Flock?
Flock is the leading safety technology platform, helping communities thrive by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention and security. Our hardware and software suite connects cities, law enforcement, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods in a nationwide public-private safety network. Trusted by over 5,000 communities, 4,500 law enforcement agencies, and 1,000 businesses, Flock delivers real-time intelligence while prioritizing privacy and responsible innovation.
We’re a high-performance, low-ego team driven by urgency, collaboration, and bold thinking. Working at Flock means tackling big challenges, moving fast, and continuously improving. It’s intense but deeply rewarding for those who want to make an impact.
With nearly $700M in venture funding and a $7.5B valuation, we’re scaling intentionally and seeking top talent to help build the impossible. If you value teamwork, ownership, and solving tough problems, Flock could be the place for you.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Security Analyst to serve as a cornerstone of our Security Operations. At Flock, security is the foundation of the trust we build with the public. As someone with over 5 years of experience in the trenches of Security Operations or Incident Response, you will focus on defending the data that helps solve crimes and save lives.
This is a "builder" role. You won’t just be monitoring dashboards; you will be responsible for maturing our detection pipeline, automating our response capabilities, and ensuring our rapidly scaling cloud infrastructure remains a fortress. You will sit at the intersection of engineering and operations, working to ensure that as Flock grows, our security posture doesn't just keep up—it leads the way. You will report to the Manager of Security Operations.
Success in this role will be measured by your ability to reduce MTTR (Mean Time to Respond), the efficacy of your custom detection logic, and your success in automating manual security workflows to allow our team to scale.
The Skillset
Leadership and Management:
Advanced Incident Investigation: Lead deep-dive investigations into complex security incidents escalated from Tier 1, utilizing SIEM, EDR, and Cloud telemetry to determine scope and impact.
Containment & Remediation: Execute immediate containment strategies (e.g., host isolation, account resets, firewall blocks) and coordinate with IT and Engineering teams for full-system remediation across multiple operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
Post-Incident Analysis: Author comprehensive After Action Reports (AARs) that identify root causes and provide actionable recommendations to senior Cybersecurity leadership to prevent recurrence.
Mentorship: A passion for raising the bar for the entire team by mentoring junior analysts and conducting security awareness sessions across the company.
Technical Expertise:
Cloud Defender: Deep technical expertise in cloud security services across a multi-cloud environment – solid understanding of cloud-native security logging and identity management, as well as experience in responding to cloud infrastructure security alerts (compute, containers, serverless, networking).
Detection Engineering: Extensive experience building and tuning high-fidelity alerts in modern SIEMs (e.g., Panther, Snowflake, or Splunk) and EDR platforms (e.g., SentinelOne, Crowdstrike).
Automation First: Strong proficiency in Python or Go to build "security-as-code" tools, automate repetitive SOC tasks, and integrate disparate security APIs.
Unique Experience: DFIR across Android IoT devices, or OT systems and networks
Operational & Collaboration Skills:
Collaboration: Forge partnerships across Cybersecurity, Engineering, and Product teams to help coordinate actions as part of responding to security events–from exercise driven scenarios to real-world events.
“Own It” Mindset: You don't wait for a ticket to fix a gap; you identify the risk, propose the solution, and drive it to completion.
Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.
