• Investigate and respond to endpoint and server threats such as malicious behavior on corporate workstations and servers.

• Analyze and mitigate phishing campaigns targeting Allegro brands (Allegro, Allegro Lokalnie, AllegroPay) - identifying malicious domains impersonating the company, coordinating takedown requests, and enriching related IOCs.

• Detects and responds to network-layer attacks, including DDoS attempts, password spraying, abnormal BOT scanning.

• Perform digital forensics and log correlation across multiple data sources (Active Directory sign-ins, endpoint and server logs, proxy, DNS, VPN, DHCP logs) to reconstruct attack timelines and root cause.

• Enrich and correlate Indicators of Compromise (IPs, domains, hashes, URLs) using threat intelligence platforms and internal asset inventories to assess scope and impact.

• Investigate identity-related risks, such as suspected account takeovers, impersonation, and anomalous user behavior flagged by identity protection tools.

• Document findings and produce evidence-based incident reports, including root cause analysis, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and remediation recommendations for stakeholders and asset owners.

• Coordinate remediation actions with IT, infrastructure, and business teams (e.g. account lockouts, endpoint isolation, credential resets, domain blocking).

• Continuously improve detection capabilities by tuning correlation rules, updating threat intelligence, and identifying gaps based on recurring incident patterns.

• Collaborate with brand protection and external partners to detect and respond to threats against Allegro's reputation and customers.

What's in it for you: 

• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).

• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.

• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).

• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.

• A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings. 

• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal. 

• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.

And that's just the beginning! You can read more about the benefits here.
