Job Description
This is an environment unlike anything in the high-tech world and the secret of Costco’s success is its culture. The value Costco puts on its employees is well documented in articles from a variety of publishers including Bloomberg and Forbes. Our employees and our members come FIRST. Costco is well known for its generosity and community service and has won many awards for its philanthropy. The company joins with its employees to take an active role in volunteering by sponsoring many opportunities to help others. In 2018, Costco contributed over $39 million to organizations such as United Way and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Costco IT is responsible for the technical future of Costco Wholesale, the second largest retailer in the world with wholesale operations in twelve countries. Despite our size and explosive international expansion, we continue to provide a family, employee centric atmosphere in which our employees thrive and succeed.

The Cybersecurity Operations and Infrastructure teams are responsible for enterprise threat detection, incident response, and overall cybersecurity operations.

This can range from a phishing attack against Costco’s leaders to malware events on an employee’s work computer. In every event we investigate and perform technical analysis. This technical analysis involves logs from networks, applications, security sensors, and endpoints. We use enterprise tools and industry best practices and processes to aid our investigations.
