Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Somerset West

Join one of the fastest growing cybersecurity innovators protecting organisations worldwide. Our AI driven email security platform is reshaping how businesses defend themselves against constantly evolving threats, and we’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst with a passion for impact, accuracy, and automation to help us push detection performance to the next level.

This is a role where your work directly influences product decisions, customer trust, and real world security outcomes. If you're motivated by solving complex problems, collaborating across disciplines, and shaping measurable improvements, you’ll thrive here.

Your Responsibilities
  • Analyse large datasets of email security telemetry to uncover detection patterns, false positives/negatives, emerging threats, and behavioural anomalies.
  • Use AI assisted analytics and automation tools to accelerate investigations and model evaluations.
  • Spot gaps or deterioration in detection rules, logic, and configuration patterns—and recommend concrete improvements.
  • Produce clear, accessible insights that empower Customer Success teams to demonstrate value and proactively address concerns.
  • Build intuitive self-service dashboards and automated reporting (Snowflake, Tableau, etc.) to monitor detection efficacy across customer segments.
  • Prepare structured performance summaries for cross functional retention and product improvement meetings.
  • Validate engineering changes by comparing pre/post release performance using statistical and behavioural metrics.
  • Create consistent frameworks for analysing customer submitted examples and supporting repeatable evaluation processes.
  • Support ML operations workflows, including experiment tracking, metrics stewardship, version control, and model registry management in MLflow.
Your Story

We’d love to hear from you if you bring:

  • 6+ years of hands‑on experience in data analysis, ideally within cyber security, detection data, or threat telemetry environments.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving instincts, with hands‑on experience in SQL and Python.
  • Experience working with detection data, threat telemetry, or security focused datasets.
  • A talent for interpreting complex issues and communicating them clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Understanding of key email security concepts (SMTP, SPF, DKIM, header analysis, message flows).
  • Experience with MLflow for experiment tracking, metrics, parameters, evaluations, and model registry governance.
  • Comfort operating within cross functional engineering, product, or customer environments.
It’s a bonus (not a requirement) if you also have
  • Experience with BI tools (Snowflake, Looker, Tableau).
  • Knowledge of phishing behaviours and attacker evasion techniques.
  • Exposure to security tooling in the IT channel or MSSP ecosystem.

If you don’t meet every requirement but feel excited by the role and confident in your ability to grow,
we genuinely encourage you to apply.

What Success Looks Like

Your impact will be visible and measurable:

  • Reduced false positives and false negatives across key threat categories
  • Faster, more accurate analysis of customer submitted examples
  • Predictive enhancements delivered through AI enabled insights and MLflow tracking
  • High quality, timely reporting that strengthens customer retention
  • Actionable intelligence adopted by product and engineering
  • Operational efficiency gains through automation and streamlined processes
Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • A culture that values balance, flexibility, and belonging
  • High impact work where your insights directly strengthen our AI driven detection engine
  • Collaborative teams who genuinely value diverse thinking and inclusive problem-solving
  • Opportunities for growth across data, machine learning, and threat analytics
  • The chance to shape industry leading protection in a rapidly evolving landscape
