Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJed Mitten is a senior security engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience turning threat data into actionable intelligence and building detection and response capabilities across startups and enterprise teams. Currently at Instacart after leading research and detection efforts at Devo and Obsidian, he blends red-team offensive insight with incident response, digital forensics, and security architecture to harden products and operations. His background includes driving detection content and machine-classification strategies at FireEye and performing high-impact consulting and pen-testing at Mandiant, giving him deep visibility into attacker behavior and analyst workflows. Jed is as comfortable breaking systems to find weaknesses as he is designing policies and technical solutions to prevent repeat incidents, and he often pairs creative, programmatic thinking with pragmatic engineering to scale security outcomes. Based in California with a CS BS and a master’s in information security from Carnegie Mellon, he brings both academic rigor and years of field-proven craft to complex threat problems.
