39 Incident Response jobs in South Africa

FusionTek is a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) with offices in multiple US locations and team members globally. We're a tight-knit team of friendly, intelligent people focused on IT infrastructure management for small- to mid-sized businesses since 2007.

We're also rapidly growing and are looking for top-tier candidates who share our four core values:

• We are team players, collectively working towards a common goal
• We work each day with a growth mindset focused on the success of our coworkers, clients, and the company
• We do the right thing with an honest and transparent approach that always puts our clients first
• We take ownership of our work, always seeing it through to completion
• We execute quickly and precisely, both internally and externally
  
  

If this opportunity excites you, we invite you to continue reading! Join our team as an Incident Response Technical Lead. We're seeking a proactive problem-solver with a client-focused attitude who thrives on tackling technical challenges.

As an Incident Response Tech Lead, you will provide excellence in high-touch technical management for incident response projects. This includes frequent technical and non-technical written, verbal and video call (Zoom / Teams) updates with all stakeholders on a project, both within FusionTek and externally. Throughout the day you'll be translating technology to clients who aren't always technical, so communication skills are paramount in this role. A broad technical foundation is also required, as you will make decisions on the client's recovery strategy and will serve as escalation point and subject matter expert to FusionTek team members and the client.

We are currently staffing the following shifts:

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Sunday to Thursday or Tuesday to Saturday - South Africa Standard Time (SAST)

2:00 PM - Midnight (Friday to Monday) - South Africa Standard Time (SAST)

Here's what you'll be doing:

• You'll primarily be focused on technical management of incident response recovery efforts from start to finish. This can include initial project mobilization, assignment and management of technical workstreams, and frequent client and vendor communication. There are daily (sometimes more frequently) updated calls and associated reporting
• Incident response projects can often begin over a weekend or outside of traditional business hours, and weekends are crucial recovery opportunities to lessen the impact the client feels as their businesses are often completely down
• You'll work through our ticketing system to document, track, and escalate project tasks and tickets, and you'll also work on our documentation platform to keep everything up to date along the way
• You'll serve as an escalation point on technical questions from other engineers and the client
• You'll be working with a team of intelligent people to deliver world-class service to our clients
