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!

We’re currently on the lookout for Security Analysts to operate within our Security Operations team. This role will require you to identify and mitigate automated threats for our customers. Your experience in a similar role in a cyber security environment will be highly regarded. 

This position will allow you to apply analytical skills in the fight against bad bots. You will support some of the World’s biggest companies in reducing the harm caused by automated software all while working within a collaborative and supportive environment.
