Job Description

The Financial technology space "Fintech" is booming and Guaranteed Rate is at the center of it. We are growing like crazy, and are one of the most successful Chicago startups. We are focused on automating the mortgage process for consumers. Imagine getting a mortgage with no email, no faxing, no stack of papers in 10 days or less instead of 40 or more! If you have been through the process of buying a home you know how amazing this will be. We are the #8 lender in the country and one of only 2 that is independent (not a bank) so we are in a good spot to win this race. We have already made tremendous strides and we are looking for someone who wants to help us finish the job and disrupt the entire industry.

The Information Technology group within Guaranteed Rate passionately and consistently puts our customers first. We’re building the latest technology to help create the best mortgage experience on the planet and get your mortgage, your way, anytime, anywhere. Whether that’s improving our digital mortgage platform, automating loan coordination and underwriting processes, or building out the latest marketing and customer engagement platform, we’re doing it all. We build high performing, self-organized, cross functional agile teams that operate with minimal hierarchy. Information Technology team members hold self and others accountable and live and breathe the tenets of autonomy, mastery and purpose.

Who is GR?

Guaranteed Rate is not your typical company and certainly not your typical mortgage company. We are technology driven, have tons of energy and we love what we do – great people and great products alongside our impeccable customer service (83 NPS, unheard of!). We’re in a River North office with exposed brick and duct work, windows we can actually open during the summer. The awesomeness doesn’t end there, we also have:

  • Holiday parties? We got’em! Not just major holidays, any holiday….Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day, St. Paddy’s Day, Opening Day, Boxing Day (for our Canadian employee), Sweetest Day, Groundhog Day, etc..
  • Game room, library and white board paint for collaboration – yeah, it’s awesome.
  • Access to our free GR nurse practitioner. Psshh who needs a doctor’s appointment when our nurse can do it all? Did we mention the free part?
  • 401k with some matching, Blue Cross health care coverage – yup, dental and vision too, short-term disability, life insurance – we got ya covered on this one, legal assistance – for a small monthly fee.
  • Oh and did we mention you get a big fat employee discount on the origination fees to get a new mortgage or refinance thru Guaranteed Rate?

So what do we want from you?

In this new role, you’ll have a tremendous opportunity to operate and improve Guaranteed Rate’s evolving security program. We’re looking for a Security Analyst who can learn quickly and can execute security operations processes across a broad set of security disciplines and domains. If you’re interested in a predictable, mundane job with few surprises than this is not the role you are looking for. If you’re up for learning new security processes, investigating phishing emails, ensuring security applications are running effectively, processing incoming tickets and supporting security and fraud incident investigations, then this could be a potential fit. You’ll spend about 80% of your time executing security operations and incident response processes and identifying opportunities for incremental improvement, 20% building and documenting new processes, and any remaining time playing ping pong, hanging out with your colleagues and petting dogs in the office.

We’re looking for someone who is hungry to learn more about information security and has a learning mindset to grow and develop in this role quickly.

  • < 1 years’ experience in information technology and/or information security
  • Consistently execute security operations processes; application administration, tickets; threat intelligence, and incident response related tasks
  • Ability to collaborate with internal teams to support security standards and processes
  • Some knowledge of windows systems administration and/or networking concepts
  • Basic knowledge of information security controls; think CIS Top 20
  • A growth mindset with a desire to learn and adapt through seeking new challenges
  • This position will eventually be part of the on-call rotation

 

If joining a growing, fast-paced, entrepreneurial company on a self-directed information security team to execute variety of security and incident response processes sounds appealing to you, let’s have a conversation.
