  • Act as an escalation point for incident response and conduct technical analysis when needed.

  • Troubleshoot issues related to detection coverage, telemetry ingestion, and automation logic across multiple security platforms.

  • Create and maintain architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, and standard operating procedures related to cloud infrastructure and detection pipelines.

  • Collaborate with peer security teams and stakeholders to enhance organizational maturity.

  • Build, maintain, and secure cloud infrastructure across multi-cloud environments, ensuring alignment with best practices for IAM, network segmentation, and monitoring.


 

Your team will:

  • Hands-on experience with detection engineering across security platforms.

  • Familiarity with security automation/orchestration platforms (SOAR), or equivalent tooling (Google Cloud Functions, AWS Lambda, etc.) 

  • Continuously thinking about creative ways to raise the bar on detection fidelity through strategies such as risk-based alerting or applying environmental context from various sources.

  • You are always looking for automation opportunities, and don’t like “solving the same problem twice”.

  • Working knowledge in securing and monitoring public cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), interested in applying cloud-native detection and automation capabilities.

  • Experienced in developing simple tooling with Python or similar programming. 

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving capabilities, especially within complex infrastructure environments.

  • Passionate about security, curious about the threat landscape, and eager to build scalable detection and automation capabilities.
