Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer with a specialty in Detection and Incident Response to join our Security Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of security operations and software engineering — you won't just investigate incidents, you'll build the systems that detect, contain, and prevent them. You will design and ship high-precision detections across cloud services and enterprise SaaS, develop automation that shortens response timelines, and mature the telemetry pipelines that make it all possible. Your ability to write production-quality code is just as important as your ability to triage an alert.

Job Responsibility

  • Engineer, test, and deploy detection logic across cloud and enterprise environments, treating detections as software with version control, peer review, and measurable performance
  • Build and maintain incident response automation, runbooks, and tooling that reduce containment timelines without sacrificing developer velocity
  • Mature telemetry pipelines through improved schema design, normalization, enrichment, and quality checks that reduce false positives and increase signal fidelity
  • Perform digital incident investigations to identify and contain potential security breaches
  • Conduct digital forensics and malware analysis to understand attack vectors and adversary methodologies
  • Integrate alerting with messaging and ticketing systems to enable fast, traceable response workflows
  • Partner cross-functionally with IT, security, and engineering teams to harden identity and access patterns, close logging and forensics gaps, and implement maintainable guardrails that scale with the organization
  • Utilize threat intelligence platforms to improve hunting, detection, and response workflows
  • Clearly explain the significance and impact of incidents, providing actionable recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Detection Engineering, Incident Response, or Security Operations, with a strong emphasis on building and shipping security tooling and automation
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go) and comfort writing production-grade code — not just scripts
  • Hands-on experience designing or improving detection pipelines, SIEM content, and alerting workflows in cloud-native environments
  • Practical experience with SIEM, EDR, and SOAR tools, with a preference for candidates who have built integrations or extended these platforms programmatically
  • Strong understanding of modern cyber threats, common attack techniques, and adversary TTPs
  • Familiarity with digital forensics tools and malware analysis techniques
  • Experience with cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and the security telemetry those environments generate
  • Exposure to threat intelligence platforms and integrating intel into detection and investigation workflows
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security findings into clear business impact
  • Relevant security certifications (e.g., GCIH, GCFA, GCIA, CISSP, GDSA) are a plus
