About Kasada
Join us in stopping bad bots, for good! Kasada protects millions of online users everyday. Founded to stop automated bot attacks, we believe the internet should be a safe place for everyone. Bad bots are highly destructive. They take over accounts, steal content, overload systems and infrastructure and cause billions of dollars in damages every year. Seeking to restore trust in the internet, Kasada stops bots at the very first request including those that have never been seen before.
We’ve grown from a few friends working out of a shipping container under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to now operating globally, we’re spread across the world protecting some of the most well-known brands on the face of the earth.
We’re an innately curious team that’s not afraid to bring bold ideas to create better ways of solving problems. We’re looking for people who are passionate about solving some of the most difficult and pressing cybersecurity issues, while having fun doing it!
The Role
We are building out our global Security Engineering team and looking for a Senior Bot Hunter to join us. Our business is designed to defeat bots and the Security Engineering team is a core part of this vision.
We are looking for an experienced security professional to help mature and expand our detection management and incident response capabilities. You will enhance our anti-bot response function and associated tooling while also liaising with other internal teams and customers.
Although this is a fully remote role most of the Security Engineering team is based in Australia (although we have over 20 Kasadians based in the US along with our Founder Sam). As such to make timezones as favourable as possible this person must be based on the West Coast of the US or operating on a PDT time zone.

- Design, develop, & deploy custom tooling & infrastructure in AWS to support defensive operationsInterface with our US clients directly as a point of escalation as required
- Partner with our global teams (including customer support, success, presales engineering, and product engineering) to support our product and customers
What you bring:
- Demonstrated experience with web-based technologies (websites, API's, etc)
- Ability to use common SIEM and log/data querying tools such as Splunk and SQL
