The impact you'll make
As an Insider Risk Security Engineer at Lam Research, you will play a critical role in helping manage insider risk and build out our insider risk capabilities. Your responsibilities will include driving tooling requirements to determine anomalous user activities and indicators, and providing support during active incidents alongside our most valuable stakeholders.

• Be the Insider Risk Technical Expert: Serve as an escalation point for colleagues and collaborators, providing guidance and support as needed.
