The Information Security Analyst will focus on detecting, investigating, and responding to account takeovers (ATO) and other security threats across AppFolio’s platforms. This role involves identifying early indicators of compromise, triaging anomalous behavior, and analyzing attacker patterns related to credential misuse, session hijacking, and social engineering. The analyst will collaborate closely with the security, fraud, risk, and engineering teams to investigate suspicious activity, reduce time to containment, and protect user accounts from unauthorized access.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5 years of experience in incident response, fraud investigation, or security operations with a focus on user or application security.
• Hands-on experience with identity and access management systems (e.g., Okta, Duo, or similar).
• Experience investigating ATOs or credential-based threats using logs from SIEM, IAM, and behavioral analytics platforms.

Familiarity with common ATO tactics (e.g., credential stuffing, phishing, session reuse) and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to recognize subtle patterns across disparate data sources.

Proficiency in log analysis and querying tools (e.g., Splunk, Snowflake) to investigate activity and develop detections.

• Ability to work independently and cross-functionally in a fast-paced, customer-impacting environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communications skills
