Every open incident response engineer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.

Open to remote only? 9 of the 9 incident response engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first. The other 11 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Posted pay only - no estimates

What the listings actually printed.

Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

2 of the 20 open incident response engineer listings state an annual base range - short of the 5 we require before publishing percentiles. The incident response engineer salary guide reads a rolling 90-day window, which is a wider sample than the roles open today.

About Incident Response Engineer roles

The Incident Response Engineer job market currently shows 17 open positions across 13 hiring companies, based on available data. This week alone, 1 new role was posted, indicating a modest but ongoing flow of opportunities in this specialized security discipline. The relatively small ratio of open positions to hiring companies suggests that most employers are seeking one or two Incident Response Engineers at a time, rather than building out large teams, at least according to current postings. Among the companies actively recruiting for this role are Twilio, 1Password, Snowflake, Wiz, and Squarespace, all of which represent organizations with significant technology and security infrastructure needs. These companies span cloud communications, password and identity management, data cloud platforms, cloud security, and web publishing, reflecting the cross-industry demand for incident response expertise wherever digital infrastructure and sensitive data are managed. On compensation, too few current listings disclose a specific pay range to support a published median for this role. Readers interested in salary expectations should consult individual job listings directly, as employers may provide compensation details on a case-by-case basis that are not reflected in aggregate market statistics. Overall, the data suggests a niche but steady market for Incident Response Engineers, with a concentrated group of technology-focused employers driving hiring activity. The limited number of weekly postings implies that this is not a high-volume hiring role, and candidates may find that opportunities are somewhat selective given the modest count of currently open positions. Job seekers evaluating this field should weigh the specialized nature of incident response work, which typically demands technical security skills, against the relatively small but active pool of employers currently recruiting, based on the figures available at this time.

What skills are most in demand for Incident Response Engineers right now?

Based on current postings, companies hiring for this role tend to operate in cloud security, identity management, and data infrastructure spaces, suggesting demand for skills in threat detection, security operations, and incident handling within complex cloud environments. Specific skill requirements vary by listing, so candidates should review individual job postings for detailed technical expectations.

What is the salary range for Incident Response Engineer roles?

Too few current postings disclose a pay range to support a published median salary for this role. Interested candidates should refer to individual job listings, where some employers may provide specific compensation details not reflected in broader market data.

Which companies are currently hiring Incident Response Engineers?

According to available data, top hiring companies include Twilio, 1Password, Snowflake, Wiz, and Squarespace. These organizations span cloud communications, security, and data platform industries, indicating that demand spans multiple technology sectors.

How competitive is the Incident Response Engineer job market?

This suggests a moderately competitive landscape where candidates may encounter a smaller, more selective pool of available opportunities at any given time.
