- Investigate complex, ambiguous, or novel customer issues from initial report through resolution, escalation, and follow-up.
- Work closely with Threat Engineering on threat-related questions, investigations, and customer concerns, bringing the right context and customer impact into each escalation.
- Understand the customer's environment, goals, technical proficiency, and risk tolerance so that guidance is practical and appropriately scoped.
- Analyze available security data, product behavior, case history, and customer context to determine what happened and recommend appropriate next steps.
- Provide clear, actionable recommendations and explain both how to address an issue and why the recommendation improves the customer's security outcomes.

- Balance high-throughput case handling with the depth, care, and technical accuracy required for difficult issues.
- Coordinate with Threat Engineering, Product, Engineering, Security, and other internal partners when an issue requires deeper investigation, a product fix, or cross-functional action.
- Rapidly become a subject-matter expert on the products and services you support, helping customers use them effectively and helping teammates do the same.

- Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, knowledge bases, case guidance, and customer-facing content to support consistency and quality.
- Document investigations, decisions, resolutions, known issues, and open questions so that knowledge can be reused by the broader team.
- Represent Wirespeed as a technical expert to customers and internal stakeholders, communicating with clarity, empathy, and credibility.

What we're looking for
- 3 or more years of experience in security analysis, incident response, security product support, technical support, or a related field.
- Practical understanding of common cyber threats and how security issues manifest in real-world environments.
- Strong investigative judgment, including the ability to assess urgency, recognize severe threat-related concerns, and escalate them appropriately to Threat Engineering.
- Experience advising technical and non-technical stakeholders with clear, prioritized recommendations tailored to their environment and goals.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and customer-service skills, with the ability to quickly become a subject-matter expert in new products and workflows.
- Demonstrated ownership of complex cases and projects, with the autonomy to manage multiple priorities in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across Support, Threat Engineering, Product, Engineering, Security, and other internal teams.
Nice to have

- Experience supporting security products, managed security services, or security operations teams.
- Experience working in a high-volume support or security operations environment.
- Experience creating or improving support processes, escalation workflows, knowledge bases, runbooks, or customer-facing technical content.
