Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack?

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.

Job Overview

Taking a broad view, you will design and implement initiatives that foster engagement with the Zeek community around the world and ensure the project's continued success. The Zeek project rests upon a mature governance framework headed by its independent Leadership Team. As Zeek's Community Liaison, you will work closely with the Leadership Team to represent the project to its users, and bring new users to Zeek.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement community engagement to support and grow Zeek's multidisciplinary user base, including cybersecurity analysts, network operators, and detection engineers.

Plan, manage, moderate, and post to the project's community sites, including social media accounts, the Zeek blog, as well as the project's website.

Develop, collect, analyze, and report on the state of the community, including results from periodic polls and user surveys.

Plan and manage community events, such as webinars, in-person gatherings, and periodic training events and conferences. Travel, particularly but not exclusively across North America and Europe, is required to support community events.

Design and procure promotional materials for the community, as give-aways, prizes, or event swag.

Represent Corelight and the Zeek community to related open-source projects such as Suricata, Yara, and Wireshark, as well as at relevant open-source/community events.

Collaborate with the Zeek project's Leadership Team as well as relevant Corelight stakeholders.

Requirements

Considerable experience participating in and building communities, preferably of an open-source or technical nature. We are particularly interested in candidates who are action-oriented and understand open-source values and initiatives.

Experience using and managing social media accounts.

Experience using and managing web platforms such as Discourse, WordPress, and Slack.

Experience planning and managing events, such as user group meetings, workshops, and conferences.

Being comfortable working with a globally distributed team. Corelight team members, Zeek developers, and open source software users are scattered across the planet!

Facilitating complex and sensitive community management situations with humility, judgment, tact, and humor.

Working independently and autonomously, managing multiple priorities and competing interests.

Technical writing skills, to include editing content of sites like www.zeek.org and docs.zeek.org, are a plus.
