Responsibilities
- Own the security posture of Palantir's Windows and Active Directory estate — hardening, configuration standards, and ongoing validation that those standards hold
- Reduce attack surface across AD: audit and remediate misconfigurations, legacy protocol exposure, excessive privilege, Kerberos delegation abuse, and tier model violations
- Evaluate, deploy, and own the configuration of defensive tooling across the Windows environment: EDR, PAM, identity threat detection, and endpoint hardening controls
- Build and maintain automation for security operations across Windows infrastructure — patching pipelines, configuration drift monitoring, access reviews, and credential hygiene
- Partner with Identity and Infrastructure teams to drive architectural improvements: tiered administration, Protected Users, LAPS, Credential Guard, and authentication policy silos
- Translate findings from assessments and red team exercises into durable fixes — configuration changes, architectural improvements, and policy updates that reduce recurrence
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on security experience, with the majority focused on Windows environments and Active Directory
- Proficiency in Python or PowerShell for detection development, automation, and forensic tooling
- Active TS/SCI security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one
- A portfolio of real work: detections you've written, research you've published, tools you've built, or incidents you've led
Nice to Have
- Experience with Entra ID (Azure AD), hybrid identity architectures, and cloud-based attack paths that pivot through on-prem AD
- Prior work in adversary simulation, red teaming, or offensive security research — especially against AD targets
- Public contributions: conference talks (BlueHat, BSides, SANS, etc.), blog posts, or open-source tooling
