Summary
Cyber threat-detection role on an information security team, developing and tuning SIEM detection rules, correlation searches, and behavioral/UEBA analytics to catch malicious activity. Works with SOC, incident response, and vulnerability management teams, mapping detections to MITRE ATT&CK and improving alert fidelity. Centers on threat analysis, detection engineering, and security telemetry across endpoint, identity, cloud, and network.

Summary
Despite the risk-analyst title, this is a detection-engineering and threat-analytics role on the InfoSec team, writing and tuning SIEM detection rules, correlation searches, and UEBA/behavioral analytics mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and partnering with SOC and incident response to improve detection coverage. It is hands-on with platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk.

Summary
Posted as a risk analyst, but the role is a cyber threat-analytics and detection-engineering position, developing and tuning SIEM detection rules, behavioral/UEBA analytics, and MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detections. Works with SOC, incident response, and threat-intel teams to improve detection coverage and reduce false positives.

Summary
Hands-on security engineering at a Portland credit union — implementing and monitoring information security programs and controls, from perimeter threat reporting, data loss prevention, and phishing simulations to SIEM telemetry and vendor solution management. The role also audits identity and access management to maintain a zero-trust posture across production and development systems, and acts as the technical security advisor on technology initiatives. Suits a mid-level security engineer comfortable spanning risk analysis, testing, and technical reporting in a regulated financial environment.

Summary
Despite the analyst title, this Portland General Electric role is explicitly not a SOC monitoring job — it is a platform-administration position owning and managing the Splunk SIEM and Palo Alto firewall infrastructure that security operations rely on (index configuration, log ingestion, alert tuning, firewall management). It carries a strong automation focus (Python and/or PowerShell) and contributes to NERC CIP regulatory compliance for the utility. Based at PGE's Tualatin/Sherwood location, it values demonstrated initiative and automation over years of experience, requiring roughly two-plus years of IT operations experience.
Summary
A hands-on security-leadership role, both individual contributor and strategic, owning the technical direction of the information-security program across corporate, cloud, and enterprise systems, including security architecture, identity and access management (SSO, MFA, RBAC, privileged access), vulnerability management, and security operations, as the company scales from prototype to production. It is explicitly a builder role focused on practical guardrails over bureaucracy, at a renewable ocean-energy company in Portland, Oregon.
AI-keyword evidence: anthropic
Summary
A senior identity-and-access-management security architecture role owning the evolution of both workforce and customer IAM across the enterprise — adaptive MFA, passwordless authentication, and modern identity standards (SAML, WebAuthn, OIDC) plus privileged access management. It is a strategic, thought-leadership position balancing strong security with user experience, not a hands-on build role. Requires 8+ years in IAM and deep identity-standard expertise; health-insurance domain knowledge is preferred.
AI-keyword evidence: ai
Summary
Security architecture for client and datacenter SoCs — boot ROMs, secure/measured boot, hardware-firmware-OS chains of trust, and NPU security — with an unusual twist: the role centers on using AI-driven analysis tools to find firmware vulnerabilities, insecure patterns, and cross-layer attack paths at scale. A recognized-expert role mixing SoC security depth with AI-assisted code reasoning.
AI-keyword evidence: ai
Summary
A Workday HCM access/security administrator role configuring security domains across Core HCM, Compensation, Talent, and Recruiting, validating semi-annual Workday releases, and ensuring SOX compliance and internal controls. In-office in Westminster, CO with about 10% travel; requires 3+ years of dedicated Workday HCM security administration experience — a systems-access administration role rather than general software development.
Summary
Cybersecurity specialist on a gas utility's Security Operations team, working to meet TSA security directives across IT and OT environments through SIEM log-collection integration, email/DNS security administration, detection and response automation, security monitoring, and incident response. Requires US citizenship for access to restricted cybersecurity information; hybrid with a minimum of two onsite days per week in downtown Portland.
Summary
Virtual CISO (vCISO) acting as the outsourced information-security leader for a managed-services provider's clients, establishing and maintaining their information-security management programs, risk assessments, compliance, and security strategy. A client-facing consulting role that includes regular onsite visits and financial/contract conversations with client leadership.

Briefs are short editorial dispatches I publish when something newsworthy happens. They show up here as they happen. Check the global feed.
Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or names LLM/agent/RAG/embeddings as core to the day-to-day; AI mentioned when the description mentions AI tooling in passing without it being the core skill; No AI mention when the description contains none of the relevant keywords. Each row shows the matched keyword evidence inline and surfaces named AI developer-productivity tools as expanded-row chips, so you can judge the signal for yourself.
The geographic filter is opinionated. The Oregon core — Multnomah County (Portland, Gresham, Troutdale), Washington County (the Silicon Forest: Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Forest Grove, plus Aloha, Bethany, and Cedar Mill), and Clackamas County (Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Milwaukie, West Linn, Wilsonville, Happy Valley, Gladstone, Canby) — and the bi-state core across the Columbia in Clark County, WA (Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield) are always included and collapse to “Portland.” So are postings across the outer ring: Columbia County, OR (Scappoose, St. Helens), Yamhill County, OR (Newberg, McMinnville — the wine-country edge), and Skamania County, WA (Stevenson — the Columbia Gorge edge). The Salem / Marion County market and the rest of the broader Portland-Vancouver-Salem CSA are a separate labor market and intentionally out of scope. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has a Portland-area office — otherwise anywhere-in-the-US remote noise would swamp the page. Use the Location filter to narrow to a specific city.
This page is an independent aggregation. Mungomash is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the employers listed. Application-status tracking and email alerts are out of scope. Per-posting salary ranges are surfaced inline when the employer discloses one — structured ATS fields first, JD-body prose as a fallback; rows with no disclosed range render no chip. For broader salary context, see H-1B Salaries (visa-petition disclosures) and Dev Wages (national survey).
