You'll join the Security team as a Senior Detection and Response Engineer, responsible for building and maintaining the detections and response capabilities that identify and stop threats across cloud, endpoints, and identity providers.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build, tune, and maintain high-fidelity detections as code across SIEM, cloud, endpoint, and identity telemetry
- Triage and investigate alerts, lead incident response, and conduct proactive threat hunting for low-and-slow and insider threats
- Operationalize threat intelligence and IOC ingestion into detections and edge/WAF rules
- Develop response playbooks and SOAR automation to reduce toil and accelerate containment
- Partner with MDR and IR providers, and run purple-team exercises with red team engineers
- Continuously improve logging coverage and detection efficacy against MITRE ATT&CK framework
You bring 4+ years of hands-on experience in detection engineering, incident response, or threat hunting. You're proficient in authoring detections in modern SIEMs, investigating across AWS, endpoint, and identity data sources, and scripting/automating with Python. A B.A./B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Security (or equivalent experience) is required. You're technically savvy with modern stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, Datadog/Splunk, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Terraform), demonstrate strong ownership and communication, and excel at creative problem-solving. Bonus experience includes regulated environments (fintech/financial services) and cyber threat intelligence or insider-threat detection.
The role is hybrid, requiring three days per week onsite in the San Francisco FiDi or Culver City office.
