Overview:
You are an AI-powered Security Engineer responsible for identifying and responding to malicious or suspicious activity across our environment with speed and confidence. This role leads the engineering work behind these capabilities—designing scalable systems to detect threats and trigger automated responses. You will integrate AI into detection and response workflows to accelerate rule development, streamline enrichment, and reduce investigation time, with human validation ensuring precision and alignment.
As a cloud-first SaaS company relying on a broad portfolio of SaaS tools, we generate large volumes of event data across identity, endpoint, infrastructure, and collaboration systems. The scale and complexity of this telemetry demand improved detection engineering and automation.
This is a platform engineering role focused on building and operating a modern detection pipeline integrated with security automation workflows. You will use Python, structured data, and widely adopted frameworks for mapping adversary behaviors and response logic to drive faster, more effective security outcomes. This role is not a support or triage position but a strategic contributor to our security infrastructure.
